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

The people I met were people who play bingo. I met people from Deputy Shortall's constituency yesterday and they were the nicest people in the world that one could wish to meet. They were nice and respectable people. They were not what I would call lobbyists. They were people who came here because they had concerns. They heard what the Minister of State was proposing, they read about it in the newspapers, they heard about it on their radios and they came to the Dáil yesterday to make their protest in a nice, ordinary and dignified way. They were not lobbyists.
