John Paul Phelan (Fine Gael)

——umpteen examples of wastage but I see no commitment from the Government on any level to address that problem.

I am a little disappointed with the Minister of State's remarks about the Kilkenny scheme and his use of that as an example but, sadly, I have come to expect little else over the past few years. The job he is charged with is a very serious one, and he has failed to take his role sufficiently seriously. He should choose his words a little more carefully when he comes into this Chamber to speak on any issue.
