Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

I am allowed to speak a second time as proposer of the amendment.

It is no harm that we learn from these experiences. The issue of grids was discussed in another context by this House though that is a matter for another day. I have been watching the operation and it is, essentially, a grid. I will not press the amendment but ask that the Minister note we are only as strong as our weakest link and this could well be the weakest link.
