I mention it because it is worthwhile for us to look again, not just at the national anthem but at matters at which we do not look too often to see how can we manage now that we have got peace in Northern Ireland and now that we have two sides working together in Northern Ireland. With the changes that will take place in April, we have an opportunity to incorporate a full Ireland in many other ways, not just in that area.

Another point was introduced by Senator Daly today. Rather similar words to the rugby song were used yesterday by President McAleese or, at least, her husband, Mr. Martin McAleese, "Your Country, Your Call". It seems here is an opportunity for us in Ireland to recognise that if we are going to succeed, let us get behind it. A number of people have put up sufficient funds to encourage this. Instead of relying solely on foreign direct investment, it is an opportunity for us to do something ourselves. I recommend consideration of that because it is really worthwhile.
