Geraldine Feeney (Fianna Fail)

Stay quiet over there. Nobody interrupted the Senator.

I also welcome the Minister for Social and Family Affairs, Deputy Coughlan. As well as being a good, competent, strong Minister, she is also caring and kind. She could have come in last week when the Estimates were introduced and given one big bang to social welfare. Then the Opposition Members would have had something about which to crib and complain. However, there is nothing they can crib about and that is what is wrong with them. They are looking for something about which to complain. There were times when the Opposition was in power that it was done with a big bang and we had plenty about which to complain.
