Thomas Byrne (Fianna Fail)

Sinn Féin made a mistake by not having separate amendments because we can certainly support the first part but not the second part as it would be wrong to exclude Senators from the measure. The figure of €75,000 is approximately twice the famous average industrial wage. One must have some sympathy for people on the average industrial wage who might own two or three properties such as Deputy Gerry Adams. I feel sympathy for him because he owns a house and a holiday home in Donegal. He has a family home in Belfast-----
