Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)

The Ceann Comhairle is absolutely correct in this regard and I accept his point entirely.

Is there anybody in the Drumcondra retinue who has not been appointed to one agency or another? What is the answer to Deputy Sargent's question on whether it is the intention of the Taoiseach and his Ministers to make appointments on the eve of the general election? Is that practice to be continued on this occasion?
