Larry Butler (Fianna Fail)

I brought to the attention of the House the other night the cost of the press and various organisations that are based here, namely, national and multinational newspapers. We are paying €500,000 for the privilege of having these people in the House working with us. The national newspapers, RTE and various other organisations that are based in this House are here at the taxpayers' expense. It is time they paid for the space they occupy in this House. It is important they do that.
