Mr. Kieran Coughlan:
They range but the people sitting around the table would be able to tell the Deputy more about them than I would. As regards fobbing, rural Members felt they were at a disadvantage because Dublin Members can obviously check in on a daily basis, while rural ones would not be able to. There seemed to be a disparity in getting to the required minimum 120 days.
