John Paul Phelan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The last few times I have spoken in the Dáil, I have had the unfortunate distinction of being after Deputy Bannon, who is even more verbose than I am.

I commend the Finance (No. 2) Bill 2013 to the House. While I like Deputy Colreavy, I am not sure what types of bicycle they have in Leitrim. In Kilkenny, one can only pedal a bicycle one way, not backwards, because of the mechanics of it.
