Mr. Niall Reynolds:

Originally when this broke and we got talking, a minority of people wanted to break into the schools and take out what was in them. We told them that was not the route to go. Then we moved on to protesting and picketing the schools. Thank God, 75% of us want to go the legal civilised route but 25% want to take the route of picketing, blocking motorways and breaking into schools to take out their stuff. I spoke to one man this morning, and this can be verified but I will not name him, who told me not to talk to him about court because he spent €19,000 taking Mr. S and company to court only to lose it. I am not exaggerating, but he said to cap it all his wife died suddenly two months ago. This is the offshoot of this. We want to convey this to the NDFA and everybody else. We are the lifeblood of this country, and from Wexford to Meath subcontractors are keeping the country going. We cannot afford to lose any more of them. We cannot afford to lose any more businesses. We appeal to committee members. I do not know what influence they have with the NDFA-----
