-----so I do not know why we are even debating this again. Well, I do - we all know why - but we need to get off this. The Bill will pass, and the quicker it passes, the better.

I know the Jameson distillery in Midleton well. It is in Deputy O'Keeffe's constituency, my neighbouring constituency. If I were a tourist trying to find it, I would probably put it into my satnav and drive to it. I would not walk around looking for a directional sign, which under this legislation will still exist, and for any Deputy to try to suggest that any change to directional signage, which will be permissible under this legislation, will have an impact on tourist numbers or jobs is ludicrous and must be called out for what it is. This is a tactic on the part of individuals in this House-----
