I am not leaving here until we get an answer to my last question. What Mr. Hennessy has just said is of no comfort. This is going to explode in everyone's face. The witnesses all know what I am talking about. One cannot discriminate between two people on the basis that one got cancer at one point and another got cancer a year later. There was a crisis in this country and the Government made a decision.
That is fine. I am not criticising the Government, but there are consequences because a precedent has been set.
