Eugene Regan (Fine Gael)

May I have an audience please? I emphasise "reaction", because to speak and gloat as Senators have done at this stage is out of order. The fact is it was an extreme situation, the Minister did act, or react as the case may be, and he has support across the House. It is entirely out of order to indulge in some of the gloating about the leadership, planning and so on.
