Fergus O'Dowd (Louth, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am. I appreciate that the Acting Chairman did not interrupt anyone else. I remind him that I am responding to points that were made on the opposite side of the House. Either we live in a democracy or we do not. If the Acting Chairman does not want me to express my views, I will insist on setting them out. I will not sit down, notwithstanding the Acting Chairman's kind views.
