Tony Mulcahy (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Many views have been expressed on this issue in recent days and weeks, for example, by younger Deputies in my party who have not served in the House before. Some of them had not even served on a council before their election to the Dáil. People need to be measured in their criticisms. They should judge others on their merits. There are many damn good people in both Houses who work very hard for the betterment of the country. I certainly will not deny that.
