John Moloney (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I did not interrupt the Deputy. Some of his colleagues referred to their difficulty in persuading people to support Government policy. I understand that some of them even took time to explain what the Government is doing and I would have liked to have been present to hear what they had to say in that regard.

I am trying to put to bed the notion that the Government is merely engaged in a salvage operation. In that context, I emphasise the funding that has been put in place in respect of people with disabilities.
