I would not dream of comparing the Minister to a turkey. We had a little tousle about whether the Minister regretted the vote. I have looked up the record. It says that Deputy Charles Flanagan said:

The vote is a great pity. I do not have anything to do with that.

To which I said "The Minister regrets the vote." That was my translation of, "The vote is a great pity." I am not quite sure what the Minister meant at that point. It might have been a slip of the tongue.
