It is easy for Deputy Heydon to try to tell the truth, when the Taoiseach could have walked out for five minutes at any time and met people. Ministers often sit in for five minutes and take over for anything in the Dáil. It was at 2 p.m. today. The Minister of State should not bother making excuses for the Taoiseach when I am talking about amendments.
