Mattie McGrath (Tipperary South, Independent) | Oireachtas source

The Taoiseach did not help today, which is a pity. Is mór an trua é. The public are watching and it is a shame to see a line of Ministers scoffing and laughing at this. The scoffing will be on the other side of their faces soon enough. They will get the first taste of that when they head to the plains of Meath.
