Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Deputy's question relates to the numbers and dates of meetings. I have offered him an opportunity to table Priority Questions every week if he wants to raise a matter that is more urgent from his point of view. I will advise the leaders of the groups and the parties of the meetings that take place after they have taken place so they will have a more up-to-date record, and they can ask Priority Questions if they wish.

In regard to the Garda escort, I do not know how many functions I attended in Galway and Tuam yesterday, as I do in other places around the country. Sometimes people turn up to protest, which is perfectly legitimate in our country as a democracy. I understand that. It is good to listen to a different opinion. The sound might sometimes be a little raucous. I might not be able to pick out exactly what they are saying, although it sounds very vocal indeed and some of it is not normal language we might use in here.
