Indeed. I wish to thank Senators for their personal good wishes. The Minister, Deputy Dempsey, is from County Meath, which is only out the road so he should have some good knowledge of the general Dublin area. It is probably unusual for me to be passing compliments to a Meath man but I can put my pennyworth in as a Dublin representative and a former member of Dublin City Council. He is not from very far away and he comes through the traffic every day so between himself and his officials there must be good knowledge of the problems. I thank all for their remarks and their co-operation.
