Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

The translation the Minister got from his colleague was not very good. What I actually suggested was that we should have had this debate on Tuesday or Wednesday when the Taoiseach and Tánaiste were around. I explained that I was very understanding of the Minister's situation. It is invidious that the Government has put him in this position here today.
