Tony Killeen (Clare, Fianna Fail)

A number of speakers asserted that the reason I am here is that the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Deputy Martin, did not wish to deal with this, but I want to address that point. People are aware of the nature of the business being undertaken by the Minister at this point and of the success which his trip to the United States has brought. He would have had no difficulty in being here, no more than I have a difficulty now in representing him.
