SF accuses FG of 'sham opposition'

Sinn Fein has launched a scathing attack on Fine Gael, accusing it of arranging voting deals with Fianna Fail to allow the Government to pass motions and legislation.

Speaking in the Dail this morning, Sinn Fein TD Caoimhghin O'Caolain said the "pairing" system operated by Fianna Fail and Fine Gael made a mockery of the concept of opposition.
