Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

It would not be normal for a Deputy to hear no complaints. The Taoiseach has always been assiduous in visiting constituents, but I confess that I have always belonged to the class which, like leaving certificate students, only prepares for the exam in the last year or two. I accept I am fully into the senior cycle phase of the election at this stage and am aware that the exam is drawing near. I assure Deputy Stagg that I am very active in visiting my constituents and I hear their many complaints about public administration and the different public services.
