Victor Boyhan: ...have bedded down. I see what it has done to the Minister's own neighbourhood and what is happening in mine. I will just make a few observations.

This is not just a Cork issue. A colleague of mine...

Thomas Gould: ...refer to my own club, St. Vincent's. I am on the board of management of Gaelscoil Pheig Sayers. They might hold a horse race night. Different organisations would have a horse race night or a dog race night. Does this amendment preclude or stop charities or sporting organisations from running those types of events? I am not clear on this point. We hold nights with ten sponsored races....

This kind of thing prevailed then and people got away with it, but because they got away with it at the time does not mean it is right. It certainly is not right. Perhaps...

...of that stress and, unfortunately, I ended up not getting a medical card. What really annoyed me was that I went through all of this process for six months and I did not fit the criteria. With my dogged nature I got on to the HSE and eventually found out its procedure.

Éamon Ó Cuív: ...on getting the mart receipts. It knows the income, therefore, but the problem is that a lot of people do not keep all the receipts, and many people do not realise that if you who have sheep, feeding the dogs is a legitimate cost.
