Mr. Ryan Tubridy:

Sorry, I am leaving a gap. Forgive me; it is a comma, not a full stop. I am not looking for sympathy now or a violin. I am simply responding to the question asked by the Deputy. He brought up the kids. My relationship with the children of Ireland is so important to me. I know that sounds grandiose, but actually it is. I want them to be happy, hopeful and proud to be Irish, to read lots of books and to be wonderful young people. That does not change, but what has been happening in the last three weeks is like a frenzy.
