Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

Attacking me and conjuring up all of this does not prove anything.

Let us deal with the most immediate matter at hand. The Government has taken a decision which shuts down late-night industries, such as events, hospitality etc. This is going to have an impact on thousands of workers who can no longer earn their living. I ask the Taoiseach to forget his political smoke and mirrors, and I put it to him as a matter of just straightforward fairness that those workers and businesses have to be supported.
