Michael Collins (IND), Cork South-West

She comes from the party that did away with the death grant. We know what they did to women in this country with their pensions. Some people had to listen to their debates when their time came.
Unfortunately, the question of nightclubs does not affect my constituency in west Cork. One time when I was going out it was full of nightclubs. There was Gatsby's in Dunmanway, Amadeus and the Westlodge in Bantry, O'Donovan's in Clonakilty, the Beacon Park in Baltimore and Cleo's in Bandon. They were there but they have closed, one after the other, and sadly there is no nightclub now. The young people have the pub if they want to go out for a bit of socialising and to hear a bit of music. There is nothing wrong with that, but it is a sad situation that nightclubs have been left to completely die out. As many and all as there was, we used go to Kenmare to the nightclub there.
