Willie Penrose (Longford-Westmeath, Labour)

Last year, one would be knocked down by the motor cars of Deputies and Senators arriving with the packages, some of whom did not even know where the clubs were and had done nothing to advance the cause. This money belongs to the people, not to any particular political sector. I am persecuted by clubs that want to know. I am sure there are many clubs in County Donegal and the Tánaiste will arrive with the goodies very soon. I would like to see that the Westmeath people are looked after.
