Before I start, I have to call out what the Deputy said. It is unfair to call any Minister a liar or say that he or she is telling lies. I want that on the record of the Dáil. Any Minister who comes in here in good faith to answer Topical Issue Matters is given a response which is local to the area. We have to work with the information that is given to us. I am now giving the Deputy an opportunity to withdraw the statement he made that a Minister came in here and told lies.
