Terry Leyden (Fianna Fail)

Doing so is part of one's life. One might as well give up altogether and close the Dáil and Seanad and not have any public representatives because they will not be needed. I never heard such righteousness in all my life. I do not mind if I am a minority of one in this House explaining my point, as did people, who in the parliamentary party in 1970s, said that when we set up Eircom and An Post there would be no more communication with them and they would ignore people and public representatives. I believe NAMA should respond.

I spoke on this issue on Second Stage. I have been a Member of this House for a long time and frequently raise issues on the Order of Business and by way of the Adjournment debate. If I have to use this House to raise an issue in regard to NAMA, I will have no hesitation whatsoever in doing so-----
