I welcome Mr. Terry Clune and Mr. Michael McLoughlin. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Clune a few weeks ago. The model is phenomenal. So many people say they will do something but the witnesses did it and are still doing it and putting their own resources into it. During the summer I came across Mr. Tom Dowling, a member of the board of ConnectIreland, who was adjudicating the Pride of Place competition. He told me about this project and said they should link up so that the pride of place in one's country, where one is willing to put one's own buck where one's mouth is, gets behind this really successful initiative. The initiative has absolute substance behind it in terms of progress. I say, well done and continue the progress. What can we do in terms of promoting the scheme or spreading the gospel?
