Brian Lenihan Jnr (Dublin West, Fianna Fail)

He should go away and study the matter. He should get his research department to work on it again. His party should drop that one for the election because it is plain wrong. That is my advice. He should invent something else to tell the people, rather than addressing the economic realities we face in this country. I welcome the general welcome that has been extended to our proposal on bonuses by Deputies Doherty, Burton and English. It was difficult to draft it, but it has been drafted and tabled on Report Stage.
