Charlie O'Connor (Dublin South West, Fianna Fail)

It has happened to me and I know what it is like. I will keep working as long as I am here, and it is important I do that.

When one turns on the television, there is more gloomy news. As a distraction, I turned on Sky News, to ensure the rest of the world is falling apart also, and there was more gloom.
