Mattie McGrath: Mar fhocal scoir. I did. I said the major bondholders went off scot-free, although they had insurance bonds, so the Irish people were doubly robbed by the bailout and the USC the Government promised it would get rid of.

That is what has happened today. People have no choice at this stage. There is very little time left. They want to raise issues and...

Mattie McGrath: Can I continue? Many of them are coming in here for refugee status and many are economic migrants. They will be coming back in. If the Government members are honest with themselves, they know from knocking at the doors they are meeting parents who have tears in their eyes because their brightest and best and loved ones are abroad. They have married, settled down and are having children...

Catherine Connolly: We will move on. I pay tribute to Deputy Shortall. I know many TDs are retiring but I think the Deputy's history is unprecedented in the history of the Dáil, with 32 years as a female TD. I do not think it has happened in the history of the Dáil.

Twenty-one years is long but 32 years is much longer for a female. Well done to the Deputy. I wish her the best of luck. We have been around the Houses and the Minister has had his backbenchers in to praise his fiscal policy. If any ordinary business person...

On amendments numbers 2, 3 and 4, on the universal social charge, the Rural Independent Group has requested a report on the abolition of the charge for those earning less than €70,000 per annum and a report on abolishing the charge for all employees in the...
