Paraic Brady (FG), Agricultural Panel

Today I would like to speak about the recent protests that we have seen in the capital. These people who were on the streets of Dublin are working class people - farmers, hauliers and contractors. They are people who stood with me in the past when I was in trouble. I would not like to see them labelled as anything else. As a member of Fine Gael, to be honest about this, I think we have got it wrong.
