Rónán Mullen (Independent) | Oireachtas source

I apologise to my colleague, Senator Ó Ríordáin, for distracting him while he was speaking. He will understand that Senator McDowell is always stimulating. I would never like to prevent Senator Ó Ríordáin from hearing himself think. I have often felt that if he could hear himself think more often, he might not say some of the things he says. Having said that, I like much of what he has just said on this issue.
