Is the Minister not making any statement on the matter?
No.
Is it the Minister's intention to increase grants in lieu of fees?
If the Deputy puts down a question I will answer it.
The Minister is being petty.
The Deputy is always abusing me and I am doing my best.
It is not enough, Minister.
It is a poor best but it is my own.
