Michael Ring (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I do not care whether he is or is not. I am a member of the committee, I attend the meetings and I expect to be brought in before those who are not members of the committee. I have had my hand up from the very beginning of the meeting and I am disappointed, but that is fine, Chairman. Go ahead. I just want to put on the record that I am disappointed. It has always been an unwritten rule of the Houses of the Oireachtas that members of the committee always get the right to contribute first and that any guest who attends may contribute afterwards. The members of the committee have always been let go first. I am disappointed.
