Michael Ring (Mayo, Fine Gael)

We should have a discussion because we are always selling ourselves short in the House. It is in our interest and the people's interest and I agree with the proposal. Why can we not do something that makes common sense? People are being paid to do a job in a month's time and this proposal should be agreed by the Cabinet. The local authorities have let the side down because they are not doing the job.
