We will see about that. The reality is that Deputy Joan Burton is the Minister who reduced social welfare payments by €1.5 billion and has made the lives of many pensioners and those in receipt of lone parent's and carer's allowance a misery. I do not believe they will be at all touched by her concern for them in the context of anything I might have to say. She has engaged in a number of such outbursts recently. Perhaps there is an election in the offing within her party. That matter has obviously exercised her mind in the context of the impact made by Sinn Féin recently. However, that is a matter for another day.
