Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Last evening in the House many other cases were itemised. The bottom line is that this is happening and is real. It is not good enough to come in here and deny the reality experienced by many people throughout the country. I appeal to the Taoiseach to listen to what is going on and stop this disconnect between what is said in here and the reality as experienced by people throughout the country.
