I thank the delegates. I am being educated by what they have to say. I am at a stage in my life where I sit at home watching "Judge Judy" or drink wine at weekends. My nightlife is now internal, rather than external, although I take the point about the showband era, of which I was very much a part.

It was so vibrant in the country. It was our lifeblood. Could Mr. Kitt elaborate on Ms O'Connell's position in having this wonderful venue and then having to get insurance and a licence and being incentivised to do so? The officials are coming in later and the legislation needs to address that.
