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

We enjoy those things in rural Ireland. Sadly, we do not have as many of them as we once had. Are we going to have a situation where gardaí could land at a Biddy ball like the priests would land at house dances long ago, coming in the front door to chase people out the back door and follow them down the road? Is that what we are going to have? This is ridiculous, to be honest. This Parliament has so many serious and important things to do.
