I would. As I said earlier, there are some people whose contributions one always expects to be of a particular standard. In terms of Deputy Ó Caoláin's contributions, I always expect them to be of a very high standard, never playing the person; always addressing with passion the issue. I acknowledge that very readily.

Returning to the critical issue, will we have consensus in this House to take on some of the people in the Custom House who I dealt with 20 plus years ago, who were never enamoured with town government?
