I am substituting for Senator Fitzpatrick, whom I thank. Given that all the previous speakers have come from the metropolises of the greater Dublin area and Cork, Mr. Cussen will not be surprised if I focus on some of the important rural issues. I echo the concerns expressed earlier in that I do not believe some of the personalised attacks have been helpful, but I believe it is important that there be engagement.
