Dick Roche (Wicklow, Fianna Fail)

Deputy Ryan will have his opportunity and I will listen to him with more courtesy than he is showing me. If he stops behaving like a little jackbooted bully we may get somewhere in this House. Each occasion I come in here to make a speech he comes up, red-faced with indignation, roaring and shouting and making little sense. I suggest he take a tranquilliser, calm down and listen to a little common sense.
