Timmy Dooley: I welcome Ms Scott-Lennon and thank her for her presentation. On behalf of the Opposition, I thank her for accepting the job. We have no hesitation in confirming her as chair of the harbour's board.

- Mortgage Arrears: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (19 Sep 2013)
Timmy Dooley: I appreciate the Deputy allowing me to make an interjection. There is a lie or an untruth being peddled by the Tánaiste and other members of this Government, that somehow the Irish State only had enough funding, when the current Government came into office, to sustain itself for five months. That is an absolute untruth.

That was in place when the Government took office. Will the Deputy accept that as a point of fact and get away from the notion that there was not enough funding to sustain the State for a longer period-----
