I thank Professor Barry for this reply. I have heard more from him than anyone and I have been researching this since I was elected. How do I go back and tell two first cousins in my own hometown in Portlaoise that this is about money at this stage? Surely to God the date you were born should not make a difference. These two people happened to be born just before 1994. If they had been born after 1994 they would be on the drug. Surely that is not fair, is it?
