Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

This time it was much shorter and probably much shorter than most other European Union member states. By the way, I do not like having a prolonged timeline in terms of the formation of Government. Let us be honest with the public that many Deputies were in here in November, December and January trying to put a government together and trying to get the substance of a programme for Government together, and that happened. Let us not denigrate politicians for the sake of an empty electoral soundbite to make the Deputy look good.
