I sincerely thank Mr. Mitchell for coming before us today and for giving a paper which was quite interesting and compelling. I also commend the manner in which he dealt with the subsequent corollary questions. As Senator Mullen said, he is very much in command of his brief. He has had a long and successful political career and has been quite a strong performer at elections. To a certain extent he would be called a politician's politician which is one of the reasons I did the unthinkable and gave Fine Gael a vote at the last presidential election.
