Joan Burton (Dublin West, Labour) | Oireachtas source

I am looking at the documentation published by the Deputy's party. Perhaps he did not have a good conversation with his colleague, Deputy Michael McGrath. Perhaps Deputy O'Dea desired a lot of things in his heart but they did not make it into his party's pre-budget submission. There was no proposal to reinstate the Christmas bonus. There is not a word about it in the Fianna Fáil document.
