Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I appreciate that people need to be sensitive in the words they use. That applies to the Deputy and her party as well and I hope she will reflect on that given the many things she has said in the past particularly in relation to victims of violence. I am happy to clarify that was not a reference to disability in any way. I am very happy to clarify that for anyone who may have thought so. It was a quote from Seamus Mallon from 25 years ago.
