Marc MacSharry (Fianna Fail)

The Leader will clarify the situation in his response. It is disingenuous in the extreme for a news media organisation such as INM to perpetrate such a criminal suggestion upon instruments of the State, which Members on both sides are. I am more than prepared to sit any day of the week, particularly Fridays, Saturdays and during the night, but it was far from the front page I saw on those occasions. From Fine Gael, Independents and this side, I have heard suggestions and innovations from all disciplines considered by the Houses of the Oireachtas but I have never seen this on the front page. If the media want to be the true representatives of the people, it is time they represented the views of the entire Houses of the Oireachtas and not just selectively when they want to represent disrespectfully and in a gimmicky way what is going on.
