Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I will finish by saying that we have had some drama, in the week in which the famous Hollywood producer, Aaron Spelling, died. The Taoiseach was forced to do a Mae West with the backbenchers — "why don't you come up sometime and see me?". The Tánaiste opted for Lady Thatcher — "I am not for turning". He who is not present here — the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, who does not want to come into this Chamber — turned to the tragic personality of Marilyn Monroe — "all of us are stars and deserve the right to twinkle".
