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

People have elected us to do something. I was quoted in The Sunday Tribune, a newspaper that does not quote me very often. I told them how I was asked to go to a meeting in Tallaght but could not attend because of Dáil business. It happened again tonight, I should be at a meeting at the St. Aengus community centre but instead I am here.
