Apology for austerity and bank debts

Summary

Joe Higgins asks whether the Taoiseach will apologise for austerity and making people pay bankers’ debts; the Ceann Comhairle intervenes and the session closes amid criticism.

I wish everybody the best and I wish nobody ill but I cannot wish anybody here good luck in the next four weeks for obvious reasons, politically speaking. In terms of the last five years and what dominated this Dáil, would the Taoiseach like to say "Sorry" to the people for making them pay the bankers' debts with the savage austerity that accompanied it over that period of time?
