Thomas Byrne (Fianna Fail)

I was going to use that word, but I was afraid I would be attacked for being sexist. She is a good Minister of State and is not afraid to stand her ground, whether one agrees with her. The Minister for Health, Deputy James Reilly, has more than met his match in her. It is about time Cabinet Ministers stopped blaming Ministers of State and the Labour Party stopped blaming Fine Gael. They should get on with doing the job for the country. On that note, we hear so much about how they have brought the country back from the brink, that they have rescued the country and that it was about to fall off the cliff-----
