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

I might have to sing for the last two minutes. The continued presence in the Chair of Deputy Penrose reminds me of Deputy Kenny's remarks earlier about Deputy Penrose being an author. I am aware that the Green Party is bringing out a book — I cannot wait to read it — and I wish Deputy Boyle well in that regard. I will read his book.

I was going to say that there is almost nothing to say because everything nice that can be said about the Green Party has been said this evening. I was not going to be nice because a copy of the Green Party newsletter, which is printed on recycled paper, was dropped into my letter box the other day and Deputies Gormley, Boyle and Cuffe were posing in the newsletter with their party's nice candidate in Dublin South-West. Can Deputies imagine that the candidate in question had a go at me in the newsletter?
