I return to the point Deputy Hourigan made regarding Deputy Verona Murphy. If I am incorrect in saying this, please let me know. The road hauliers made a complaint about the RSA. The road hauliers were not being investigated. It could be compared to any of the grievances I might have dealt with in my clinic last week. I may have written to the Committee of Public Accounts in the past about it but I then also have the right as a member to raise them here. If Deputy Verona Murphy was subject to correspondence relating to an organisation that she was heading up and which was being questioned, that would be very different. It is important to state that. Deputy Murphy is carrying on the work she carried out beforehand, which she is quite right to do because all of us come to public life with grievances about things we would like to change.
