Senator Ryan holds the unenviable belief that politics began the day he was elected and that the rest of us are here as some kind of supporting cast to him and others. I say to him and anyone else from a certain small section of Dublin 4 who believe they have a right to lecture us on these matters that we will not accept lectures from them or anyone else. We will stand on our own two feet. If ever there was an issue which engendered common cause and a sense of partnership on all sides of the House, it is this one. When the IRFU changes it mind about this crazy decision – I believe it will do so – colleagues on all sides of the House who contributed to the debate on this issue will be able to take credit.
