Or weeks. Who knows these things? I am more confident, to borrow a phrase from our esteemed President, that the testing of the love of the people will take place in 2016 rather than 2015, but who is to know these matters. In any event, should I have any influence on the matter, I certainly will have something to say about it, and if I am in an executive position in the next Oireachtas I will encourage the Oireachtas Commission to look in a very open way at the existing administrative structures and for the Oireachtas itself to make recommendations rather than simply for the Executive to make proposals, which in a modern, functioning parliamentary system is probably not the right way to go.
