Are we waiting for the Minister to arrive? I am reluctant to say too much while the Minister himself is not here but there are about 15 Deputies who have submitted questions. They are expecting a response from the Minister.
I mean no disrespect to the dream team that has arrived. No, I am a bit cranky with the Minister for not turning up. In all fairness, the Ministers of State are more than capable of deputising.
Built by scoring every sentence in the debate on how distinctive its language is, then quoting the highest-scoring ones back word for word and in the order spoken. Nothing is paraphrased or invented — if a sentence appears here, it was said in the chamber. Drawn from 40 words across 6 contributions by 3 speakers.
How often each word appears across the whole debate, ranked by how distinctive it is to this debate rather than common to all parliamentary language.

Did Kerry win the all-Ireland this year? Is the Deputy still cranky over that?
No, I am a bit cranky with the Minister for not turning up. It is not the first time he has not shown up. In all fairness, the Ministers of State are more than capable of deputising.
We will move on.
