Dick Roche (Wicklow, Fianna Fail)

It is an issue which has to be addressed. I listened to contributions from the other side of the House, with respect, and people talked, in particular on this side of the House, about putting off the evil day when we dealt our expenditure issues. An illustrious person came from the broadcasting world into this House but exited after a fairly short period who disagreed with Deputy Bruton's common sense points on this issue.
