Mary O'Rourke (Fianna Fail)

I have listened with interest to the Minister, and there is no doubt that cynicism abounds regarding such matters as the two Houses rising tomorrow. People ask what we will all be doing for three months, as if we were going to be hunting, fishing and drinking in that order during the period. I wish that some of the cynics who expound that point of view would come and live with me for a week. I could offer to put them up in the house — although they might turn up, of course.
