They were very sympathetic. The Seanad was sitting but the Dáil had not yet come back. I was fairly annoyed, to say the least. I pointed out this anomaly in that the company a had a small sign on the wall. I could not believe I was clamped and I paid €140 at the time. By the way, I got the money back. It exposed the ridiculous situation. On that particular day, a young settled Traveller ran out of petrol and pushed his car into that cul-de-sac and he was clamped as well. It really was out of line in Galway. I do not know what it is like there now. I welcome the Bill and thank the Minister. It is one of these issues nobody was doing anything about. It was an anomaly. There was no control or no regulation whatsoever governing it. Now the regulations are there and I welcome them.
