Willie Penrose (Longford-Westmeath, Labour)

I know an awful lot more about farming than Deputy Dooley. I learned it the hard way. If the Deputy looks up at the audience in the Gallery he will see some of the people who know that I know a great deal about it. Some 35% of my vote comes from those in the farming sector in County Westmeath. I am proud to have advocated their cause at every turn. They know what side their bread is buttered on. I never forgot where I came from, unlike some of the Deputies opposite who seem to have forgotten where they have come from.
