They are all wonderful. My heart goes out to the witnesses. When they mentioned the Minister of State, Deputy Moran, I was reminded that in the early days I knew of him from dealing with the floods in Athlone. He is the Minister of State with responsibility in this regard. I do not know the man personally but I would say the witnesses have to be pushing an open door when it comes to what they want done. I am surprised at the seven-year delay. What happens when it comes to insurance? How do they insure their homes?
