No, I said what I wanted to say. I support local government. As with the Garda Síochána, post offices and so forth, we should maximise support for rural communities and in that regard I support my Fianna Fáil colleagues on the amendment. The abolition of local councils in historical places such as Kilkenny, from where the Minister comes, Waterford and Cashel is a pity. I will not delay the House as we must dispose of the amendments as quickly as possible.
