Mr. Timmins point is a very fair one and I have no problem supporting it and saying he is 100% right. There is a very large publishing house in this country which owns many regional newspapers. There are about 40 pages every week in all of them that are the same, whether one lives in Drogheda, in Cork or in Wexford. It is replicated and there is bumf. One thinks one is getting an 80-page product but it is really 40 pages. It is a fair point which I accept.
