Ba mhaith liom, ar dtús báire, buíochas a ghabháil le chuile dhuine a ghlac páirt sa díospóireacht. I thank everybody who took part in the debate. I will briefly deal with some of the valid points raised.

A point was raised in regard to Inch Island. Islands connected to the mainland by bridges present a challenge. My constituency is the greatest beneficiary if one counts the islands connected to the mainland in the manner in which this is done for census purposes. County Mayo has Achill Island. We immediately get Eanach Mheáin, Lettermore, Gorumna, Lettermullan, Furnish, Mweenish and so on. It would be a great day for me but this would spread the money more thinly.
