Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

No. The Senator is very funny today. Senator Morrissey also praised the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform with regard to the citizenship referendum. I have always said of the Minister that he is prepared to come to the House when we ask him to. He gives fair hearing to the points of view of Senators and tries to introduce amendments. Unlike others who want to rush in and out, he comes and stays.

Senator Hanafin joined in the chorus about the Minister for Finance and the economy, which is on a sound footing. It would be totally wrong to have Christmas in June. We should be glad to have the current Minister and glad of his and the Government's work. Senators may have heard the Taoiseach's dress sense praised this morning on radio. It was said that his hair and clothes were lovely. Where does that leave us?
