What about the Vatican? Has there been a discussion? Has Mr. Watt and the Taoiseach discussed the Vatican and its role? The function of Mr. Watt is to be both a leader and a problem solver for other Departments and it is a function that he has carried out extremely well. I have listed some examples and I am sure everybody here could list four or five other examples. I shall not even discuss broadband. We are paying gigantic money for something that we will never own and that seems extraordinary to most people. Where are these conversations with An Taoiseach and some of the line Ministers? I know that Mr. Watt is not a person who is accustomed to holding back his views.
