Paul Kehoe (Wexford, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I think your first protest was more successful than your second, Deputy.

I wish to pick up on something the Minister said. There has been cross-party work on this over recent years. Being a Deputy from the south east, I was amazed by the cross-party work on this specific issue by all political parties. Nobody played politics with it, at least not until the election of some new Members to the Dáil, albeit none from any political party. Ninety-nine per cent of the Oireachtas Members in the south east came together to work extremely hard on this project. I wish to acknowledge that.
