What might be better is if the Deputy came into the House with costed proposals. It might be better if he signalled any interest in those proposals in the Sinn Féin budget document. The word "mortgage" features once in the Sinn Féin mortgage document. Sinn Féin makes no effort to provide for private home owners of any description in its mortgage document or its housing documents but it is now interested in mortgage holders and those who own private homes. It made its budget choices and that is fine - I respect it making its own budget choices - but it did not make this choice. These interest rate changes were well signalled but Sinn Féin made no reference to them at the time. Perhaps Deputy Doherty will allow me to finish without interruption. I do not need to be called "stupid" on the floor of the House-----
