Mick Wallace (Wexford, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I suspect the third Member from the Minister of State's constituency might not make it here. I do not see him. We will use up the time anyway.

I do not have anything against the Minister of State, but I miss the Minister. Having said to some journalists recently that I would love to be the Minister, I hope the Minister for Justice and Equality, Deputy Frances Fitzgerald, is not too worried. In case the programme does not add the proviso I included, I did say that under no circumstances would I be part of any neoliberal grouping. That rules out the Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil parties and, judging by the past four and a half years, the Labour Party. It is probably unlikely that I will ever be the Minister for Justice and Equality.
