Mattie McGrath (Tipperary South, Independent)

Security is right. You will need security. Ministers will have to come out of their bunkers because they promised and attacked so much. My constituency colleague, Deputy Tom Hayes, was quoted in the local newspaper, The Nationalist, last week. He said the gloves are off as regards the Army barracks and that he would save it. Yesterday, however, he said he will not vote against the Government, regardless of what it closes.
