People do not appreciate the long hours we put in. I had a committee meeting yesterday at 9.30 a.m. and left my office at 11 p.m. I do not claim to have been working non-stop all day, but I certainly was going all day doing different things. People on the outside do not appreciate this, yet one is meant to handle constituency queries and so on. In some respects, the Minister of State, Deputy Parlon, was lucky to be appointed Minister of State on his first day in the Dáil. However, in other respects, I am lucky because he might not appreciate what I am saying now. All of us here have only half a secretary – in other words, two Members share one secretary, who does tremendous work. However, we will need to expand that service if we are to promote the Seanad.
