Mattie McGrath (Tipperary South, Independent)

Deputy Hayes did not. He should just say it for the record. It happened last week with a Minister. On the day Deputy Healy-Rae became unwell the Minister refused to withdraw his comment. He muttered something and I challenged him on it. He said he was talking to a Deputy coming into the Chamber. That is the arrogance with which we are dealing.
