It was a clear question and I got a clear answer. I thank Mr. Liston.

In my opinion, on political consensus, the witnesses are winning hands down in Ireland. Please God we will get over this but then, let us get into Europe. What is their opinion on how we should take it onwards? We are growing momentum. The key word, as was said earlier, is "momentum". I really feel that. It is not for tonight, but we are talking about trade and services. The people who are making money out of this must take some moral responsibility also. That must not be lost in this argument. It is not what this Bill is about, but it has to come into the equation as well and it should be pointed out more often.
