A number of issues were raised this afternoon. I thank the Deputies on all sides for their contributions to the debate. I would very much like to thank Deputy Ó Cuív as well for his history lesson and for encouraging me to agree to his amendment. We have not agreed it yet but I encourage the Deputy to put down the amendment so that it can be debated. I would like to see how that debate develops. I am not sure whether that makes the Deputy happy-----
