First, I am not going to listen to People Before Profit Members at all when it comes to talking about work, employment, paying people, or about money. I will tell the Minister of State who I will listen to and he will be interested in this. I will listen to Pat McDonagh who is a great man. He is an Irish man who has created thousands of jobs and provides great service the length and breadth of this country. I am going to talk about Pat McDonagh because he gave his version of what he thought about this. He is a man who creates work and pays people on a Friday. He is not a person who goes around yapping about pay and conditions. He is a person who has practical experience of giving people lifetime careers, or part-time work and getting people started-----
