I want to remind Mr. Delaney's colleagues of what he has done over many years, whether it is with regard to the District League, Mounthawk Park in County Kerry, the Victory Shield tournament, Killarney Athletic, Castleisland Soccer Club or Asdee Rovers.

I will conclude with one observation. At the end of the month, Mr. Delaney is to come to Castleilsand AFC to open the new George O'Callaghan Park. People in the area have been waiting for the facility for 45 years. What I am reliably told is that if it was not for John Delaney and the FAI, the park would not be opening at the end of this month. Mr. Delaney will be most welcome to Kerry. He will get what I would call the mother of all welcomes when he comes to Kerry because his reputation and his respectability will precede him. We will be there to welcome him.

When it comes to accountancy practices, many of us who are in business have to do certain things at certain times. During the recession, people bailed out their own small businesses and did the different things that they had to do to try to be of assistance -----
