Dáil debates

Public Expenditure: Motion (Resumed).
7:00 pm
Charlie O'Connor (Dublin South West, Fianna Fail)
I congratulate the Leas-Cheann Comhairle on this important day for him. He has been not only a great servant of the Dáil but a great friend to those of us who are relatively new. He was one of the first people to greet me when I came to the Dáil so I wish to acknowledge that and say congratulations and well done.
I said today in another debate that it seemed to have been a quiet day in the Dáil, a slow news day I suppose. I was able to speak about many local issues in my constituency. I spoke about Tallaght and all the other areas in my constituency about which Deputies Catherine Murphy and James Breen know. I made the point that the Visitors Gallery was empty and there were not many people around. I am pleased to see renewed interest in Dáil business this evening and that the Visitors Gallery is almost full of young people.
