I thank the witnesses for coming. My colleagues have already thanked them and acknowledged their contribution to us in a very eloquent way, recognising the witnesses' own eloquence. I asked a couple of them today where they came from, and in doing that, I understood what has been said about that question, because even in asking it of them I felt discomfort, as though I were asking for an acknowledgement that they were really Irish.
