Charlie O'Connor (Dublin South West, Fianna Fail)

I could easily be overawed by an occasion like this but I am not. I was in Tallaght on Saturday and listened to RTE who reported that the last time I spoke in the Dáil, on Friday, I spoke to only a few people. I am glad the Taoiseach is here but also that the Opposition shows such interest. I wonder where is the Green Party.
