Pádraic McCormack (Galway West, Fine Gael)

As far as I am concerned, it covered by the motion tabled by the Labour Party and Sinn Féin, which I am addressing.

I do not know where the Minister of State got the facts as relayed tonight in his contribution. In fairness to Deputy Finneran, however, because I respect his position as Minister of State and know he is a decent man, I will study this document. I know that statistics, perhaps, may be used in different ways, but I can assure him that the figures I have given him are the facts in the case.
