Charlie O'Connor (Dublin South West, Fianna Fail)

I am talking to the motion and I will deal with Deputy McGrath on another occasion, when I have more time. It is not easy to deal with heckling when one has only five minutes. If I ever need the assistance of the Ceann Comhairle in that regard, I will ask for it.

Whatever about the politics of the matter, I hope we understand how important is the role played by carers in our society. We should understand the need to support them at every level, and I hope we will continue to do that.
