Michael Ring (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I will begin where Deputy O'Connor from Tallaght finished. Yesterday, I spoke to a woman I met on the street. She told me that as if things were not bad enough they have placed an eco-warrior or green tree on O'Connell Street. She said the lights were depressed like the country. Another woman told me she needs light bulbs for brightness but with the new light bulbs introduced by the Green Party she is depressed every day even with the lights on.
