Dáil fiasco - Is it any wonder we are cynical?

“I’LL tell you one thing lads — you’re worth it, you’re worth it! It’s worth coming in here for half an hour.”

No doubt, the Taoiseach was flushed with victory after winning the confidence motion in his leadership of Fianna Fáil when he uttered these words in the Dáil yesterday.

Perhaps that explains the mocking tone of banter in ruling out Government time for a Labour Party motion of no confidence in the Government, observing that even Fine Gael thought it was “stupid”.
