Holocaust remembrance in the House
The Taoiseach points to the President’s and Foreign Minister’s participation in Holocaust commemorations, but Deputy Mathews insists the Dáil itself should observe a minute’s silence.
The Minister's focus is on improving the health services.
In respect of Deputy Mathews, I might say that the President of Ireland, Úachtarán na hÉireann, represented all our people in the Mansion House on Sunday. He represented everybody.

Does Deputy Mathews not understand that according to Bunreacht na hÉireann, Úachtarán na hÉireann represents all our people?
