Dick Roche (Wicklow, Fianna Fail)

It is very difficult to change any process half way through it.

Let us look at where there is agreement. What we are doing here is moving the dates out. I wish to make one point to Deputy O'Dowd on the issue of PPS numbers. We have talked about the issue of using PPS numbers several times. With respect, I think Deputy Morgan has a more accurate view of what happened in the North of Ireland than Deputy O'Dowd.
