Mary White: I did not know Joe Doyle in his political capacity as Senator, mayor or Deputy and I never got to know him personally, but I knew him from attending mass in Donnybrook when I lived in the area in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Mary White: I welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Mansergh. There is no harm in indicating that we had an earlier Celtic tiger. In the period 1994-99 we had a genuine Celtic tiger economy, during which Ireland experienced super growth, with an annual average increase of 8% in GNP.
