Caít Keane (Fine Gael)

I wish to make a brief contribution. I am standing in for our spokesperson, Senator Fidelma Healy Eames. I congratulate the Minister, who has a difficult job. The entire House has recognised that she has probably one of the most difficult portfolios and is one of the best people to deal with it. As I said when speaking on another issue, her heart is in the right place. Due to the difficult budgetary situation, it is hard to find money. My colleague was castigated for being informed. Being informed is one of the best attributes one can get. There was also a reference to her tone of voice. She is a very relaxed person and I would not take her tone of voice to take into consideration——
