The bravery awards are, as the Ceann Comhairle said, very special and very much appreciated by the people who receive them. I had the privilege of launching Anne Chambers's biography of T.K. Whitaker, an extraordinary citizen who was selected by popular vote of those interested the most influential and important citizen of the 20th century, which is an extraordinary commendation from people throughout the country who gave their views. I take Deputy Keating's point of view and I will come back to him.
