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

The drama was associated with yesterday's meeting of the Joint Committee on Arts, Sport, Tourism, Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs and the attendance at Leinster House by artists and film stars. There is drama everyday, certainly this morning. The arrival of my friend from Wexford reminds me that I wanted to congratulate his friend, Deputy Connick, who has enrolled in "Wex-Factor". I am sure that the Leas-Cheann Comhairle will join me in wishing the Deputy well.
