You go, you page one gal! I don’t buy FF TDs evolving over the past 15 years… Brian Finnegan is being way too polite when he should be publicly challenging this point rather than assuming evolution extends to the soldiers of density.

Sean, I was aiming for hyperbole myself but I suspect it came off more caustic than that.

Joe, don’t be surprised to find that Dermo has no ‘views’ on anything at all these days. Ministers don’t do views or opinions in Ireland any more. They look at things in the round and try to arrive a totality of understanding. That sort of thing.
