There is no doubt whatsoever, and it is clear from the report in regard to whistleblowers, that Sergeant...

The Taoiseach will...

Paul Coghlan: Senator MacSharry says that practice makes perfect and I acknowledge that no one has had more practice than he in regard to bluster and so on in this Chamber. I find myself in agreement with the comments of my colleagues, Senators Mullins and Henry, on this medical cards issue.
