Yes, of course. I have a serious question. Will the Tánaiste outline today or early next week the financial cost of buying votes from Deputies Lowry, Grealish and Naughten to oppose the no-confidence motion yesterday? It was a grubby deal and I would like to know the cost. They are announcing on Facebook schools, hospitals, roads and other projects and the Government is down to the level of picking up the phone and begging people to come in for an open chequebook. It is outrageous to buy confidence in the Minister like that and to get votes. It is despicable.
