Patrick O'Donovan (Limerick, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I welcome the opportunity to speak on the Bill. When in the Chamber earlier I listened to some of the other contributions. All of the contributions of Deputy Finian McGrath are notable, but in his contribution today he referred to the campaign in the early 90s to let in the light, as he called it. However, he failed to remind us that he had turned off the light in 2002 as part of his cosy arrangement with the then Taoiseach, former Deputy Bertie Ahern.
