Mr. Paddy McGuinness:

I am not sure my courage will stretch to that point. I am very encouraged by the committee's assessment of what I have said. The members are the people with political power and I am greatly encouraged by the way they see merit and truth in what I am saying. As a result, I am optimistic that the committee will put forward proposals and plans to address this shocking issue. The Western Development Commission is such a small organisation but it has great potential. It has people who have come not just from the Civil Service and there is a great mindset. It has been sat on, as it were, for so long and this would continue but for the fact I have raised the matter. I do not want any credit for that. I am very encouraged by the way all the members have responded, and from that a different mindset will come.
