Éamon Ó Cuív: One of the great frustrations of being a Member of this House are the padded answers that tell you everything except what you need to know and that address everything except what you addressed.

As someone who, at the Business Committee, has to manage competing demands for additional time to talk on important matters, I have to say it is profoundly disappointing to come in here tonight to have a topic of enormous importance before us and, apart from Deputy Ó Cathasaigh as Leas-Chathaoirleach and the...

Marc Ó Cathasaigh: I thank the Minister of State and Deputy O'Rourke for their contributions on the report. I will not go back into the detail but I will attempt to address some of the comments that were made.
