Batt O'Keeffe (Cork North West, Fianna Fail)

The Deputy should not ask me to do that. I refer the Deputy back to an occasion when the then Minister, Deputy Martin, was challenged by the Deputy's party on an issue in the health sector. Those in the Deputy's party asked him how long he knew that an issue was unconstitutional before he acted. Is that what the Deputy wants me to do? Does he want me to act as a Minister in an unconstitutional way?
