Michael Healy-Rae (Kerry South, Independent)

-----while the Minister, who is on a huge salary and has a big car, hides in the restaurant. I am ashamed at what the Government is doing, including cutting the fuel allowance by six weeks when people almost died of the cold last year. The Government's answer to them this year is, "Perish away" and "Die and get out of our way". The Government will not then have to pay them any money.
