Some time ago I was one of those given the responsibility to establish an examination and analysis of the salaries, working hours and conditions of Oireachtas Members. In that context, I take grave exception to an Oireachtas Member referring to Members of the Houses on today's "Morning Ireland" and in newspapers as "urinating on the public", by virtue of the way in which they do their work. I take grave exception to the cheap attempts by a single Member to try to demean the work of Members in an unfair, unchallenged and cheap way. It is incorrect and should be examined by the Committee on Procedure and Privileges. I do not accept that it is fair for a member of a profession to criticise others without evidence.
