Last night, we did not crown ourselves in glory in this House. What went on here was an outrage. Every speaker who spoke on the motion, or should I say, the statements, spoke about the amendment I put down to the motion, which related to the representational payment and allowances of councillors, their treatment under PRSI, sick pay, pension entitlements, etc. Perhaps we should take a vote on the entire motion, including the amendment, and do the people we serve some justice by giving them something from what happened last night because what happened left none of us in glory. It was outrageous.
