I join colleagues who have raised the peddling of total untruths by the Government and particularly Fine Gael. At the eleventh hour I ask the representative of the Fine Gael Party in the House, Senator Paul Coghlan, to insist on the posters in question being removed from lamp posts the length and breadth of the Twenty-six Counties. The Senator and members of his party know their use is wrong and I ask them at the eleventh hour to take them down, as they are misleading people into thinking there will be a substantial saving if we get rid of this House.

I will take the Senator's comments seriously.

I ask Senator Paul Coghlan to give a commitment this morning that he will go to the director of elections for Fine Gael and insist that the posters are taken down. He should do it on behalf of his own colleagues and every Member in this House. As the people are being asked to vandalise the Constitution of the State on Friday week, I make that request of the Senator as he is the representative of the Fine Gael Party in this House. I know he agrees with me. I also agree with Senator Conway's comments. It is absolutely nonsensical to think that if we had fewer doctors and nurses, there would be better hospitals and better schools with fewer teachers. I ask the Senator to go to the Minister, Deputy Bruton, and ask him to remove the posters today.

The last time he met me he had a large smile on his face.

There is no need for the Senator to respond.
