Senator Norris has tabled a good motion but I suggest it should be much broader. I am a Kilkenny man and noted that one of first comments the Senator made in this debate was to criticise that we have a rural Minister and that there were rural Senators in the House. I say to him that we are all Irish people. I am very proud to be an Irish person. I am very proud of my capital city of Dublin. It is a city that we, as a nation, sell to the rest of the world, so it is important we get the Living City initiative right. There is more to Dublin than Georgian Dublin. I admire Senator Norris's passion for Georgian Dublin. Senator Mooney mentioned the ESB building and things that we have got wrong.
