Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael)

I thank the Ceann Comhairle for the opportunity to speak. Tom Cruise is an actor who has divided opinion. Some like his films, others do not. One film that quite a few thought was his finest moment was "Jerry Maguire". In that film, Tom Cruise plays a sports agent who is trying to sign as a client somebody who plays American football. Probably the most famous moment in that film is the scene in which the person he is trying to recruit makes one demand of him, which is, "Show me the money." This is all about the footballer saying that if he goes to work for the agent, he wants the agent to show him the money. He wants the agent to tell him what money he will give him and how he will do it. That is the ultimate question that people must answer in this referendum-----
