The Fianna Fail leader, Mr Ahern, has accused the Tanaiste, Mr Spring, of hypocrisy and humbug in relation to the semistate sector.
He claimed Mr Spring was present at Cabinet while former Minister, Mr Michael Lowry, ran a witch hunt against public servants; while worker directors were bounced off the boards of Telecom Eireann and while 20 per cent of Telecom was "sold to foreign multinationals on the cheap".
Telecom workers have been sold down the river by the Labour Party leader, Mr Ahern claimed.
