Most of the Deputy's contribution was comment. I would be slightly concerned about starting a discussion on J.K. Galbraith at this stage of the meeting. I listened carefully to what Deputy Durkan had to say, as I am sure the Minister did, and I think it is something the Minister should take into account in terms of the task in front of him.

With the permission of the committee, I will now proceed to the two remaining questioners. Deputy Mairéad Farrell was due to speak next but I understand she has a preference to go after Deputy Barry. If Deputy Barry is with us I invite him to put his questions to the Minister.
