John Halligan (Waterford, Independent)

The Deputy would speak for one minute and ten seconds. Is that her contribution to what has happened in Waterford? Over the past few years some 3,000 people have lost their jobs. Changes are being allowed in the Dáil procedure to benefit all Deputies on an issue of national importance and Waterford has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country. We are being allowed a minute and ten seconds for the debate.
