Geraldine Feeney (Fianna Fail)

I accept that it is at least one third. Senators Terry, Henry and Tuffy have referred to political hacks criss-crossing the country to collect expenses. I would hate to think that the Senators would classify councillors as political hacks. All Senators know that councillors are the people who work hardest in the community. I do not need to remind Opposition Members that they are quick to defend councillors when they are criticised in this House.
