Seán Barrett (Dún Laoghaire, Fine Gael)

You are the chairman of the commission. The request appears very smart referring to "the clock-in records". Clocking-in in my book means clocking in for work. This House sits three days a week, therefore the records disclosed should be the records of those who attended for the three days; that is clocking in. If someone asks for a clocking-in record, deliberately so, give him or her the clock-in record. The Dáil does not sit on a Monday or a Friday; it is all right for people like me who live eight miles from this House - I can call in here every day.
