David Norris (Independent)

I will make a brief intervention because I know the business of the House must continue. On the troubled matter of Tús, I heard the Minister's intervention. He explained it with a seanfhocal which I understood. If I am correct, it means "a good start is half the work". I said I assumed it meant "start" or "beginning"; therefore, I was right. If the Minister considered my inadequacy was in the Irish language, it would have been courteous to explain it in English because then it would have been understood by all. However, I understood it. I was curious as to whether this was the meaning or whether it was an obscure acronym as Gaeilge.
