Richard O'Donoghue: The first day I came to the Dáil, I was greeted by a good Limerick man who brought me in. His first bit of advice for me was to get lost if I wanted to learn the House.

He said I would learn very fast and it was only the way to get experience of the...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Bhí sé i gceist agam a bheith istigh níos luaithe agus labhairt air an gceist seo. Is ceist thábhacht í toisc go bhfuil airgead i gceist chun a dhéanamh cinnte de go bhfuil an Teach seo ag obair. Gan an t-airgead nó an infheistíocht sin, tá dainséar ann.

That is really important for us, as Members, when we are...

I compliment Deputy Ó Cuív, who is just leaving, and Deputies Sherlock and Phelan who spoke knowledgeably, intelligently and very honestly about their time here and their experiences.
