Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail)

It did happen. I have found that when people want to oppose something, they always tell me I am right but I am doing it the wrong. My attitude towards life is to just get on and do it, and that is what we did.

The current position is that we are in Tubbercurry. I will continue my discussion with the Department of Finance and will continue to press that in the 2011 review we would proceed with this project as planned. The Deputy and I both know that this would be long built if it were not for an individual living in Dublin 6 - I do not know why it concerned him but it is his democratic right within the laws of this country - who chose to put in a single objection.
