Michael Mullins (Fine Gael)

I join with the previous speakers in thanking the Minister for her patience and her comprehensive responses to the debate. We had a great exchange again this morning for six hours. The social protection budget is €20 billion. I would love to see the Minister come back to the House on another occasion so we could have an input into areas in which we could get the most bang for our buck. Some good ideas came up this morning, and we would love such an opportunity. Maybe the Leader would organise for the Minister to come back some time for a wide-ranging debate and discussion.
