"Mr President, yesterday a motion was put forward to bring Commissioner McCreevy before Parliament. The groups were asked to speak on the motion. The IND/DEM Group was simply skipped. I have observed this before. In this case though, I was designated to speak on this very important issue for the Group and I seek to make that statement now.
The IND/DEM Group agrees with Mr Schulz that Commissioner McCreevy should be called before this House to account for his statements on the European social model. Mr McCreevy has of course always opposed that model. He was Minister for Finance as Ireland ascended to wealth, and how did he choose to spend it? On our chaotic health system? On our crumbling school buildings? On a very excluding special needs education system? On our housing crisis? Did he get patients off a two-year waiting list for minor operations? Not our Charlie! He made sure that his friends in the horse racing business did not have to pay tax on six-figure-a-go stud fees.
I have had seven years to observe Charlie’s distaste for wasting taxpayers’ money on social services. The other 719 Members may not yet know how Charlie operates and they deserve a chance to see what they are in for."@en1
