I assure the Deputy that I am just as interested in people with disabilities and their families as he is. I do not think any party in this House has a monopoly on compassion and I do not think any party in the House should claim to. I assure the Deputy that everyone on these benches, both Fine Gael and Independents, is doing their best to assist people with disabilities through constituency work and through our work as Ministers. Many of us have people with disabilities in our families so I do not think, in this House, we should engage in some way in trying to make out that some party or group has a monopoly on compassion because it is just not true.
