The Senator is a heroine of mine. When I was asked by The Irish Daily Mail who I had the highest regard for in politics, I said the Minister for Social Protection.

I protested with the people on the streets against the cut to the carer's respite grant. I cannot understand why a lady of the Minister's intelligence could not find ¤26 million savings in another area out of a total budget of ¤20 billion
