Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

It is always the same with the Deputy. He makes an argument. I make an argument back but he never allows me to finish my point or to complete the argument. For fear that his interruptions did not allow him to hear the point I made to him, he selectively quoted from a letter Philip Lane sent to me. That is the point I made. The reason I made it is because he is selectively quoting. Elsewhere in the letter the Deputy referred to, references are made to the very thinking and issues that influenced yesterday's decision. It makes reference both to variable pay and to the cap. It is in the letter. He never made any acknowledgement of that either here or elsewhere.

I know we are getting to the point where the Deputy infers that I do not care about all those-----
