I will conclude my inevitably hazy recollections at that point, noting that, under my presidency, Parliament triggered the process which led, on 13 December 1979, to the budget presented by the Council of Ministers being thrown out.
Fágfaidh mé an chuimhne dheireanach sin mar fhocal scoir ar mo mhearchuimhní agus déarfaidh mé gurb í an Pharlaimint, faoi m’uachtaránacht, a chur tús leis an bpróiseas trínar diúltaíodh don bhuiséad a chuir Comhairle na nAirí i láthair an 13 Nollaig 1979.
