If the Ceann Comhairle is referring to Fianna Fáil as home, I often fleetingly go in and out of it but I always maintain that it was a case of them leaving me rather than me leaving them. When they are ready to come back to my standards for the Fianna Fáil Party, of which my father was a founding member, I will be ready, willing and able to take up the cudgels. Having said that, I am very good friends with the Fianna Fáil finance spokesperson and with many other members of the party, including the Ceann Comhairle.
