Mr. Eamonn Gavin:

To return to what Ms Buckley said, in our town at one stage we had eight pubs, four shops, including a big hardware shop, and a post office. We still have the post office. At the moment we have four pubs and one of them is a restaurant. The hardware shop closes a couple of days a week. We have two supermarkets. That is an example of what is happening out there. It is not nice.
