I would rather have convictions and be accused of being arrogant than being like Cathy Barry's dog and trying to bring both sides of the road with me, as the Deputy and his party, Fianna Fáil, seem intent on doing. I have been in this House for many years and it certainly comes as news to me that Fianna Fáil has wanted to excise the term "offence" from the broadcasting legislation for some time. There does not appear to be anything it is not prepared to do in its populist approach to politics.
