Martin Mansergh (Fianna Fail)

I spent 20 minutes on the radio this morning and I think people were very happy when I finished.

It is a fallacy to think that only those moves mentioned in the announcement will happen by 2008 and that everything else will happen afterwards. Ministers and Departments are driving the process forward and if I know the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, Deputy McDowell, and his Department, they will drive it forward. It has nothing to do with whether there is a Minister in south Tipperary.
