On that point I agree with the Senator. Everyone should have access to the kind of services to which she has referred, including access to decent roads. I know the pressures our rural road network has been under. I hope that with the improved weather, local authorities will now be in a position to spend all the additional money made available to them. Everyone should have access to the ability to make a telephone call. That goes without saying. Senator Conway-Walsh has the right to put forward her case on the story with regard to the deficiencies that exist. I am simply asking her not to deny me the same right.
