Across the board they are adversarial, hostile and confrontational. I have received correspondence from people for years and, unfortunately, one must go on “The Late Late Show” to get something in Ireland. It is like "The Hunger Games".

Those rhetorical devices are always used by Mr. Reid and his predecessors, and I do not mean that personally, and by previous Ministers to elude and evade the truth. You have failed.
