Newborn babies in the Tánaiste's county are becoming homeless.

You are going to make newborn babies in your own county homeless. What a future you offer them.

Where is the newborn baby in your own county going to go in a couple of days' time?

Where is the Cork newborn baby going to go? Where are the mother and her newborn baby going to go?

Two of the largest supertrawlers and factory ships in the world have been hoovering up vast amounts of fish in Irish waters over the past two weeks. The 470-foot Annelies Ilena and the 470-foot Margiris were joined by another supertrawler, the 383-foot Helen Mary . All three vessels are owned by a Dutch corporation.

Never in the history of the State before.

Unbelievable. Shameful.

There is no hiding place any more. That was disgraceful.
