Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I find it not good practice. I do not want to appear to be in any way vindictive about this but in my view we cannot have a situation such as the one the Minister, Deputy Varadkar, was confronted with last week which was resolved. I also accept that this should not be seen as some sort of individual incident of victory. Everybody in the country, from the highest person down, must understand that we face a challenging time as a country, and we are meeting that challenge, but the message does not seem to have got through to some people yet. I hope the Deputy's own contribution is helpful in getting that message through to them directly.
