I am going to have to move on. We have come to the end of the meeting but I appreciate that Deputy Gould has sat here for the last hour and a half so I am going to give him two minutes. I see Deputy Danny Healy-Rae coming in as well and he had his name down too. I will forego my own time but I would make one comment. I recently had the pleasure of meeting the Continental Youth Championships board in the city of Dublin outside San Francisco. We met with Eamon McCusker and Mark Gorman. Most of the conversation has been around GAAGO live. I really did not appreciate the impact that has on our diaspora. When we met with them they spoke so passionately about that cultural connection and being able to see and connect with home again. I really did not appreciate the impact that is having on lives beyond our own little island. It is great to see. I would just give that one compliment. I will give two minutes to Deputy Gould and two minutes to Deputy Danny Healy-Rae.
