I wish to make three points. The first concerns Senator Brian Hayes's point on misinformation in the newspapers. In this regard, my colleagues should note that Alison Healy states incorrectly in today's The Irish Times that I am an investor in the new newspaper Daily Ireland. I am not an investor and am not receiving any money from it.

I laud Trevor Ringland, who played rugby for Ireland, on his advertising campaign One Small Step, the purpose of which is to stop people using emotional words such as "Taig" and "Brit" in an effort to break down sectarian barriers in Northern Ireland. In yesterday's edition of Daily Ireland he stated that he wants every human being to make a little step for peace and reach out to people on the other side as part of this effort.

I cannot remember my third point.
