I am saying that I had no such difficulty when the Minister's current leader, the Tánaiste, quit his political party a number of years ago and went on a long political journey. I did not suggest then that he should leave his Dáil seat and face a by-election. I did not say it about the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Deputy Rabbitte, the Minister of State at the Department of Health, Deputy Kathleen Lynch, or anyone else because politics brings about its own events.
