Richard feels he might top the poll in Dublin South East and maybe there is a grain or two of truth in that but I think the Minister will think again before losing it.
He may still be able to operate in such a manner under Dáil privilege with the assistance of the Ceann Comhairle but he is not taking part in L&H debates and I think he finally realises that.

It is little wonder that, because her illustrious ancestors were responsible for vision and victory in Britain, she is pained at being dependent on this perfectly turned, un-human cog.

In future, I would urge Mr Bruton to properly inform himself of the relevance of CSO figures in the context of the sector to which they relate before making sweeping statements that are abusive and harmful to an industry, which contributes so much to the Irish economy," concluded Mr Power.
