I am certain of that from responses received from staff in the Seanad office, but why then is the Minister saying he did not know about this debate this morning and he expected to be told about it when he was in the House here yesterday? He said he sat here for two hours and no one mentioned it to him. How long has he been here?

Basically, the Minister has been a passenger in his Department or independent commentator who feels everyone else's pain and says, "God, is that not terrible?" Deputy Varadkar is the Minister.
