Jerry Buttimer (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Jan O'Sullivan, to the House.

Unlike Deputy Pearse Doherty, I and those on this side of the House are motivated to help those who are in genuine distress. Everything that we are doing is about them restarting their lives as citizens and playing their part. I want to hear the options from the Members opposite because all I hear is empty rhetoric.
