Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

When my own late father was responsible for the Office of Public Works he was asked by his opposite number, the then Deputy Lemass, how many seagulls flew over the Phoenix Park in 12 months. Does the Taoiseach consider the €125,000 cost for the report is justifiable, given that Deputies are inundated with requests for books from schools and children are being asked to bring toilet paper with them in the morning? Is this the focus of the Green Party in Government? Is the Minister hopping mad that this has been discovered?
