Michael Healy-Rae (Kerry South, Independent)

The Minister's performance last week left much to be desired and he certainly let himself down. I hope he will do better with this issue and in this debate. I remind the Minister - I hope someone will pass on this message to him - that despite his long years of service in this House, he must serve many more years in Dáil Éireann before achieving politically the same amount achieved for his constituency and constituents by the Member he condemned last week.
