I am going to stick to the amendments and I am not going to do what the last speaker said we do, that is, to roar and shout and achieve nothing. I studied "Macbeth" for my leaving certificate. There is a scene where Lady Macbeth is accused of protesting too much. The character says "The lady doth protest too much, methinks." Deputy Barry Cowen is no lady but he has certainly given us an example of someone who is on protest to defend his position and he is not very good at it.
