Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The modus operandi of Deputy Shortall is to put questions to me and when I answer them, to interrupt me as opposed to considering the argument I am seeking to make. The argument I am seeking to make is that many of the countries with which we compete for certain kinds of work have schemes like this one. I will be fully publishing a report on the operation of the scheme. If that report makes recommendations on issues like equity and fairness, I will address them. I represent the ordinary worker and taxpayer too. The ordinary worker and taxpayer needs different forms of employment to be created and different forms of work to come into our country and there are some people who allow that to happen. This is not about sweetheart deals-----
