Susan O'Keeffe (Labour)

I echo the calls on bonuses and the bonus culture, which do not belong in this time. If we are to pay bonuses in future they must be for a job well done, which is my understanding of the reason for a bonus.

In the House on Tuesday I referred to temperatures rising on matters to do with health. It seems that temperatures are rising again and it is not good for the health of the people in this House nor for the people outside the House. Health issues seem to be on our agenda every day in here and outside. We would do well to honour the integrity of the Office of the President and those who are brave enough to put their names forward as candidates, that we should not impugn them regarding health or any other matters.
