Personal Statement by Member
I have the greatest respect for you, a Chathaoirligh, and you are doing an excellent job. In my support for young journalists I may have felt that a young lady was under pressure on a television programme and that it was a case of a damsel in distress. In my comments on the Order of Business I may have offended the Minister, Deputy Pat Rabbitte. If I have offended him in any way I withdraw the comment.
