Paul Kehoe (Wexford, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

From my background in politics for the last 22 years, I have always found it to be far better to deal with the organ grinders on occasions such as these because it is possible to learn an awful lot more. The teachers give much better feedback. I have nothing against the union heads, or anything like that, if they happen to be watching, but I do believe that the teachers, or the members of any organisation, are able to give far better feedback than what might be possible from any union head or representative.
