I looked at the people sitting at the top table. One person was from Athlone and, therefore, no expenses were incurred. One person was from Clara and, therefore, minimal expenses were incurred. Another was from Longford and, therefore, minimal expenses were incurred. I presume the Minister of State did not incur expenses. I understand the idea was to give us more of the propaganda about the European Union, but on what was the money spent? Are debates in empty halls around the country the only ones we will have on this subject?
