I will finish with this point. The Secretary General, Dr. Ambrose McLoughlin, stated he would be amazed and shocked and that it would be unacceptable if it were to happen that the essential services I have mentioned were affected and that, while he was Secretary General, this would not happen. We want to have this stated in the Dáil.
