I want to take issue with something Deputy Daly said. I advise the Deputy that I am not being destructive, rather I am being highly constructive because what we do much of time in Ireland is move on but we rarely find out why something has happened. I am trying to find out why this has happened. I am not trying to blame anybody. The ICOS would be the last people I would blame but I am trying to give them ammunition as to why benevolence is not going to work and as to why the State has a responsibility in this having issued the visas. Also, there is no comparison between this and a travel agency in the sense that hundreds of students came here with parental money, well-saved-----
