Representing Sinn Féin, Aengus Ó Snodaigh addressed his fellow politicians, saying:
"Sinn Féin will be calling on all members in that institution in there [the Dáil] to come out and give a pledge that if they have power they will reverse what has been attempted here today. It is only by their actions that they will be judged.
In a direct reference to Fine Gael and the Labour Party, who sent out Richard Bruton and Willie Penrose to support the protest, the Sinn Féin deputy said:
"There is no point in coming out here and saying you’re against [a cut in the minimum wage] if you’re going to go into government and implement it."
