Charlie McCreevy (Kildare North, Fianna Fail)

Even a nominal charge would lead to less abuse of services. I am strongly of that principle – Senator McDowell is not, as I know from the Dáil. Services that are free in the public service tend to be abused. That is my overriding raison d'être in all these areas. Anything that is free will be simply abused, not just in Ireland but throughout the world.
