I too welcome the Minister of State to the committee. It is a fierce honour for us as a family to be here. I suppose we could add in the Chair as well, because he is only over the ditch from us in a place called Coolea. We are on the boundary. We have the tent fairly well surrounded here this evening. A lot of journalists were making hay at the time that the fight was about speaking time. They said how ridiculous it would be if I was to be asking questions of the Minister of State. Here we are, and they can go and lump it now. We are here and I will ask him whatever few questions I have, and whatever few I forget, I will ask him some other day, because we do meet.
