Vote 25 - Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government (Supplementary) (11 Dec 2012) Michael McCarthy: It is not. I am not being pedantic with the Deputy. I will let her speak because, in fairness, she is very co-operative and, to put it mildly, we owe her minutes following her outstanding co-operation one day when there were spectacular instances where there was not such co-operation. I ask her to stick to PEACE III and with the broader parameters of the budget.

- Social Welfare Bill 2012: Second Stage (Resumed) (12 Dec 2012)
