They have used that as their way of carving out their political career. The Minister knows I have nothing but respect for him in his role in this Government, but I have to include my total disgust at the abolition of town councils. I will go back to the amendment, as the Ceann Comhairle rightly says, but, before I do, I make the point that the issue of abolishing the town councils will come back in time. It will not bite the Minister, because he will go on to greater and better things, and good luck to him, but it will bite the party and parties who have supported their abolition because it is a wrong decision.
