I thank members for their assistance. We will try to facilitate the Chairman, clerk or individual members in any way we can. If Deputy Bríd Smith or anyone else has a query on a particular issue, he or she should feel free to make contact with my officials. We will try to provide as much information as we can. As I have said privately before, I am willing to have debates in the House, but let us make sure that they are based on facts. Let us disagree on policy, whether it is with Deputy Eamon Ryan or anyone else, but let us do so based on the facts.

Traditionally, we have had a situation where the Opposition has been starved of information with the Government holding on to all of the information. I do not want to take that approach. I want us to work together in the interests of all our people and the country.
