I am not advising anyone to break the law. What I am advising people to do is to vindicate their rights. There is no need for me to encourage the Minister's neighbours to vindicate their rights. Regardless of whether I went down to support them because their local Deputies had abandoned them, bar Deputy Tom Fleming and Deputy Michael Healy-Rae, they are going to vindicate their rights in any case. I remember the Minister's slogan in that election, "The People's Champion". People's champions do not jail their own people for keeping their houses warm.
