Mattie McGrath (Tipperary, Independent) | Oireachtas source

And so say all of us. We thank each and every person involved in keeping us in order and facilitating us here. We all associate ourselves with the Deputy's remarks.

Níl éinne anseo ó Shinn Féin. An bhfuil aon Teachta de chuid the Social Democrats ann? Níl. There is then another Government slot. An bhfuil éinne eile ón Rialtas ag iarraidh labhairt? No. Táimid ar ais ag Sinn Féin arís agus, ina dhiaidh sin, Solidarity-People Before Profit. Níl éinne ón bpáirtí sin anseo. There is then another Government slot but níl éinne anseo. It is then Sinn Féin arís so we will move on to the Regional Group. I am delighted that rural Ireland is keeping the show on the road. Tá beirt Teachta ann, an Teachta Verona Murphy agus an Teachta Shanahan.
