During the summer, I read a book by Gore Vidal about American foreign policy and the creation of a new American empire. At one point, he said: "The sweetest words in the English language are 'I told you so.' " That is not true – those are the bitterest words in the English language. Five years ago in this House, I outlined what would happen if the Luas proposals went ahead as they were then scheduled and spoke of the need for an underground rail system. I do not gloat over that and I do not want to say "I told you so". I wish I was in a position to point to a metro system being developed and say "There you are". Those would be the three sweetest words in the English language if, through co-operation, we can bring a project to fruition and fulfilment.
