I do not have a question but I have been listening to the debate in my office and I feel very strongly about this issue. In my constituency of Cavan-Monaghan, we have a fabulous citizen advice centre. The model used includes the provision of a mobile office to local libraries and so on, which is very important. As public representatives, we rely on that very much and I was delighted to hear Mr. Tomás Lally say he was here to represent the citizens, as are we. It is very important, but what is being proposed will have a very detrimental effect on the services.
