So I don't know if there is the public outrage that some people seem to be saying, really, at all.

Well, it's a high salary, but I challenge any of us to go on radio and present...

A radio show, even to stand in front of a group of people is nerve-wracking.

So to actually, you know, would Morris be able to do it?

Actually, I was a radio presenter and I did it for nothing.

Where did you work, Morris?

98.3.

It's a college radio station, but it's got the same level of broadcast signal as the commercial signals.

I did it myself up to last year for absolutely nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

University College Cork.

Oh, ha, ha.

Okay.

Ultimately, I think this is a distraction, okay?

There's just so much going on nationally and internationally.

And I think very much the first time, and I'm feeling it again,

is that this is a very useful distraction for politicians of all hues, government and opposition, to unite in their sort of common enemy.

There's nothing like a common enemy to unite people.

And it feels to me as if, you know, this is all grand.

As you yourself said earlier in the programme, there's a lot of grandstanding in those committees.
