Fianna Fáil history sparring
Senator Gallagher challenged the Leader on his party's time in government, prompting repeated barbs about history, decentralisation and old Fianna Fáil leadership. The exchange stayed focused on partisan argument rather than a policy issue.
How long has the Leader's party been in government now?

With respect, the only person who goes back in this House is the Leader's good self.

I am waiting for the old guard to come back again. Fianna Fáil will probably resurrect them again. I heard Bertie Ahern this morning. I see that they are gradually coming back again.
