When somebody keeps interrupting, it means that they are hurting.

Some 2,600 people have signed up for compensation. I would like to thank publicly those people who are obeying Irish and European law, who are taking the compensation and are doing their best to co-operate with the Government in solving this matter. Politicians on all sides of the House are making a genuine effort to get a solution. At the end of the day, this is European law. The 53 conserved bogs will win ultimately. They will remain in the ownership of those who own them for future generations to enjoy also.
