Martin Mansergh (Fianna Fail)

I support the call of Senator Terry and others to review and improve the working conditions of secretaries of Members of this House. Like other Senators, I deplore cheap shots and one should not seek election to the Parliament unless one has a belief in what one is doing. The pity is that the media is not terribly interested in much of our work, but that should not deter any of us from doing it to the best of our ability and contributing to the type of debate we had yesterday.
