Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I have consulted with Deputy Mitchell and she tells me that tangerine has a calming effect on blood pressure. I saw a picture of the Tánaiste having her blood pressure checked yesterday and I assume there is a good reason for that, when it seems it is now three to one against McCarthy from inside the Cabinet. The Tánaiste, the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs and the Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism make it three to one against. I do not know whether she wishes to say anything about that or whether that is the position as we move towards the Lisbon referendum and subsequent to it.
