I welcome the opportunity to make a brief contribution to this important debate. I am pleased you are in the Chair, a Cheann Comhairle, because you will remind me not to stray from the subject. Deputy Tom Hayes actually mentioned Tallaght earlier, which is very reassuring, and Deputy Mansergh mentioned Wexford so I assume there will be a little leeway. I ask Deputy Seán Barrett to tell Deputy Hayes some day that the Tallaght strategy speech by that good man Alan Dukes was actually made in Templeogue. However, I do not want to change history and perhaps I should not have told him that.
