To be fair, if Senator Gallagher looks at the Minister's record he has been a very regular and willing visitor to the Seanad for debates.

Senator Craughwell raised the issue of Mr. Tony O'Brien and the remarks he made at the weekend. I was disappointed, having worked with Senator Craughwell and Mr. O'Brien, to see his remarks in the newspapers. To be fair, the Department of Health is a very complex area. Fianna Fáil dubbed it "Angola" and ran from the office for over a decade by assigning the portfolio to the former Deputy, Mary Harney.

The Leader was doing very well.

The Leader never misses an opportunity.

When the Leader is challenged he has a right to respond. He should be allowed to respond.

We have to compliment the Leader; he was doing really well.

I have a way of dealing with that which might not be pleasing to some Members. We must let the Leader respond. We are against the clock.

The Minister for Health, Deputy Harris, has a very fine record in the Department of Health, and has been a very-----

He is-----

The Senator is like a broken record.

Do not get distracted.

The Minister has a very fine record in the Department of Health, not least his legislative achievements and his willingness to embrace change. The Government has made a serious commitment to the implementation of Sláintecare in the budget. One of the mistakes made in the health system was that the old health boards were got rid of. We now have no political accountability, and I have made the point in this House in the past that the health fora-----

What about the post offices?

-----are a waste of time. There is no open and transparent accountability for officials. I mean that in a respectful way. Mr. O'Brien is correct in that the language and behaviour of Members of the Houses of the Oireachtas, whether in the Joint Committee on Health, the Dáil Chamber or in the Committee of Public Accounts should be respectful and probing rather than sinking to the lowest common denominator. I am not saying it happens in this House, but there are Members of this House of the Oireachtas who should reflect on their behaviour in committees.

On the issue of the Army promotional video raised by Senator Craughwell, I am not sure how he can interpret it as a promotional tool for the Government. It is about promoting the Army and the tremendous work it does both at home and abroad. If that is what Senator Craughwell is going to engage in we are heading down the wrong road. We must promote and support members of the Army, who are doing Trojan work at home and abroad. The Senator comes in here regularly to criticise the lack of Army recruitment. We should use the video to recruit people to the Army.

We are not recruiting people to join the Government.

Not even Senator Craughwell's Machiavellian mind could make that leap.

The Leader should not insult Machiavelli.

I compare it to the Trojan army.

I will knock another Order of Business out of this issue.

I have read many of the Senator's theories on Twitter and this is the best one he has come up with yet. I have to give him credit for that.

It is a cheap shot by the Government.
