I am somewhat less organised than usual but I know the Leas-Chathaoirleach will forgive me because he is always very forgiving.

I never subscribed to the left-wing mantra that we should control prices. I never did and do not now believe it. Even at the high point of the early days of left-wing experiments it never succeeded in eliminating the impact of levels of supply and demand on the real world.
