I support my colleague's amendment to the Order of Business. The public is becoming increasingly incensed about what is happening. The Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht is a disgrace. She is running away from cameras.

That is ridiculous.

She is going into museums not talking to anybody. We saw her on the television running away from a camera. She will not answer any of the questions that have been asked. We saw her here in the Seanad last week when she refused to answer questions. We have seen her avoid the media. We heard from the Fine Gael Parliamentary Party last night that she read a script. That is a disgraceful position for a Cabinet Minister to be in.

We are not discussing political party meetings on the Order of Business

She needs to come into this House and answer the questions that were asked of her here. She needs to go into the Dáil, to which she is answerable, and answer the questions that are being put. She refuses to do so. Her position is not tenable. It is about time people copped on. There is another stroke about to happen in this game also. That other stroke is that Members are all voting for Mr. McNulty because everyone seems to be quietly telling the media-----

How does the Senator know?

They are all briefing the media that they have already voted, that they are going to vote for Mr. McNulty and asking what can be done? That is the second stroke in this game.

That is not true.

While we have 11% unemployment, political games are being played. It is disgraceful. I support the call to have the Taoiseach come to this House today. He has answered no question. He has accepted responsibility, but for what we do not know.

When you were appointing your boys to the boards-----

Does the Senator want me to go through all of what Fine Gael has done?

You were appointing your own to the boards when there was 15% unemployment, some 60 of them in three days-----

Please, Senator, no crossfire.
