Mr. Brian Purcell:

Before I answer this question, I must say something. At the tail end of the last engagement Deputy Mac Lochlainn stated that he felt I did not believe the work of this committee was important. I say straight to the Deputy that he is wrong about this. I would like the Chairman and other members of the committee to understand what Deputy Mac Lochlainn has said about my views, and it is interesting that he can speak for me-----
