Mattie McGrath (Tipperary, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I have a brief point in defence of my two erstwhile colleagues from Killarney, Deputies Danny and Michael Healy-Rae. They would not agree that Killarney is in the same league as Dublin. My daughter is dancing there this weekend and my wife is down there. She might report when they come back from the competitions on Monday. Deputy Boyd Barrett made a point about increased profits but with such increased profits come increased taxes. There is a knock-on effect. It has been a good and successful scheme and it is still necessary for large parts of Ireland. I am not just talking about rural areas but everything below the Red Cow.
