Committee members will appreciate that my comments will be somewhat tempered, being a Minister of State at the Department, but the greatest critics of their posters are, as they all well know, their supporters: "Where are your posters? They are not up. Everyone else has them up." It is a wider question and I take Deputy Quinlivan's point about campaigning. It gives reassurance in a big way, certainly to supporters, so there are a lot of dynamics here. The Electoral Commission will obviously consider it all in the round and I welcome the fact it is coming before the committee.
