Martin Cullen (Waterford, Fianna Fail)

I listened to the Senator with great patience when he lectured me. No Minister has given more time to this House recently and when I respond to Senators, I know what the issues are. The Senator berated me about his own county the other day. However, I did some research and found that all the issues he brought up were the responsibility of his own inertia and ineptitude when making decisions locally. He came into this House and blamed me for not providing funding. I am the first to acknowledge that councillors made difficult and fair decisions on waste management.
