Michael Healy-Rae (Kerry, Independent) | Oireachtas source

Deputy Alan Kelly spoke about new politics. Sometimes I am sceptical of the notion, but this is different. Having been a self-employed person all my life, I appreciate the work that has been done on behalf of the sector being discussed here and on rectifying a wrong that has existed for a long time, to ensure that self-employed people can be assisted collectively to secure better conditions. That can be done collectively on their behalf after this Bill is enacted. It is only right and proper to support and encourage it.
