Michael Ring (Mayo, Fine Gael)

We on this side of the House are often criticised for seeking further funding for carers. The Minister's problem could be resolved overnight in a very simple way. What I propose would benefit the country and it was the Minister of State, Deputy Power's remarks that suggested the idea to me. Last year there was a big row involving Mr. John Magnier and Mr. Alex Ferguson. Mr. Ferguson is manager of Manchester United while Mr. Magnier is a big businessman here.
