With the Comhchathaoirleach's forbearance, I should have said at the outset that we wanted to thank the ESB and the local authorities in Kerry and so on. I also thank the volunteers who went out that way. We would have been lost only for everyone pulling together and working together. Would it be reasonable to ask that there should be no tree within falling distance of a road or a wire? That is the case in other countries, is it not? Would it be reasonable to ask that question?
