Noel Dempsey (Meath, Fianna Fail)

The Government is dealing with many of the issues raised by Deputy Broughan. He believes that ignorance is bliss. If he informed himself about what was happening he would not have to get himself worked up into righteous indignation every time he stands up in the House to have a go at the Government and so on. He should calm himself down a little and inform himself. If there are criticisms to be made then let him criticise but he should not make a fool of himself in the House by talking about things that are being dealt with.
