Deputy Micheál Martin had an opinion, which he expressed to an official and it is contained in that e-mail. This was a philosophical discussion about travel. He had his views and I had mine. I am not saying that Deputy Martin was right and I was wrong. I am not saying that I was right and he was wrong. I am simply saying that we should have been discussing those views, as we do in the House everyday.

Deputy Nash has views and I listen to them and I do not see anything wrong with including a mixture of views in what might be a better solution to a problem that we are trying to resolve. I have no difficulty with a cross-party view emerging from individual views. The same applies to Deputy Micheál Martin or anybody else in this House who has a view.
