But when you look at the surplus that we're producing, the economic success that we have in Ireland, the fact that so many multinationals are coming in here, this was Sean LaMasse's proposal.
He decided in the 1950s, we need to change course.
We need to attract multinationals into this country.
We need to broaden out investment.
It's a remarkable success.
Can I just say one thing I'm not going to do when we're discussing Fianna Fáil is discuss Fianna Fáil by reference to other political parties.
You can ask politicians from other political parties in here and I've no doubt they'll be able to speak for their party.
As I said earlier, Micheál Martin's done an excellent job in terms of the challenges that Fianna Fáil leaders have faced.
Probably he had the biggest challenge when you look at what he took over in 2011 than any of the other previous leaders.
So, look, his record speaks for itself in respect of it.
Fianna Fáil is committed to Irish reunification.
It's an issue upon which we've played a central role.
If you look at the Good Friday Agreement, if you look at the Shared Ireland Initiative, if you look at what Sean Lamar said in the book about the fact that the way we will get reunification...
is by engaging with our brethren in Northern Ireland on issues like electricity supply, in terms of the economy, cross-border discussion.
Get to know them.
Get to engage them.
And I was doing that.
One of the projects of Fianna Fáil and the Good Friday Agreement was evident to me last Friday when I was up in Armagh at the North-South Ministerial Council.
An Irish minister is sitting down with the executive from Northern Ireland.
So, like, there's a lot of success in this country.
