Finian McGrath (Dublin Bay North, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I reject the Senator's comments on the use of emotional blackmail. I commended the work of Dublin Fire Brigade and welcomed firefighters to the Seanad. I am well aware of the great work they do, but I would like them to become more directly involved and engage with the issues. Like the Senator, I am a former Dublin city councillor and familiar with the current city manager, having dealt with him on many issues. There is no coasting along in this dispute. I will convey the Senator's views and concerns to the Minister.
