Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)

Does the Taoiseach agree that Deputy Sargent's point is reasonable? If the communications unit is staffed by civil servants and paid for by public money and if the contents are as neutral as the Taoiseach claims, why should it not be made available to Members? The Taoiseach claims we would all hear it if we were listening to the radio. How are we supposed to listen to all radio broadcasts? Is Deputy Sargent not making an innovative and reasonable recommendation?
