Jim Daly (Cork South West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

During Leaders' Questions last week, when I was not in a position to defend myself, Deputy Adams misrepresented me by misquoting a statement I had made on a television programme, "Prime Time", the previous night. I said on "Prime Time" that the Gateway scheme gives people an opportunity to learn what it is like to get up in the morning, go out to work, be part of a team and work as part of a group. Deputy Adams chose to misinterpret and misrepresent me in this House by saying I thought the scheme "was teaching unemployed people what it is like to get up in the morning". I ask Deputy Ó Snodaigh to convey to his party leader my request for him to have the decency and the courtesy to correct the record of the House.
