The Senator also referred to the Member of the Oireachtas and what he said about Members of both Houses. I agree that we are giving him oxygen by discussing this matter. However, it is time that we stand up for ourselves and, as did some Members recently during a phone-in programme, answer back. I do not know any public representative in either House who does not work until the lights go out. I have met very few who do not work all the hours they can. They may not do so in full public view, but they answer telephone calls, attend meetings and represent their parties at public functions. We have all been asked if the Houses are back in session and if we have returned to work. It is awful that, after so many years, such questions are still being asked. If we do not speak up for ourselves, who will do so? We must inform people that we are doing our jobs, sometimes for 14 hours a day. When one goes shopping, one will be approached by people who raise their concerns and one listens politely. There is no escape from our work and we are always on duty. I encourage everyone to speak up in respect of this matter. Senator Ryan agreed with Senator O'Toole's comments in that regard.
