Michael Noonan (Limerick City, Fine Gael)

The lady doth protest too much. He had a fortnight to file amendments had he desired. We have discussed Dáil and Seanad reform. Only one Opposition Member was in the Seanad when I took all Stages of the Bill. Deputy Michael McGrath's Fianna Fáil colleague in the Seanad handled everything. No one else from the Opposition appeared.
