I hope the Deputy will be writing to the Ceann Comhairle tomorrow in that regard. Deputy McDonald assumes we on this side have collective amnesia but we have waited two years to hear about her connections with convicted criminal Jonathan Dowdall. I guess, like Slab Murphy, he is a good republican and so gets a pass. We would love to hear about Deputy McDonald's connections to him because that is grubby.

There are many issues that the TDs and Senators of Dáil Éireann and Seanad Éireann need to get working on. Tomorrow's tariffs from the United States are principal among these. Once this evening's orchestrated stunt has been dealt with, it is really important that we get down to the serious work of Dáil Éireann on behalf of the people of Ireland.
