I thank the Minister of State. I appreciate his bona fides and that he does not want to be here either. At the heart of what he said at the end of his contribution is that this situation is not of our making. He is 100% correct about that. We are the victims of an appalling decision by the British people. What are we doing about it? The Acting Chairman spoke passionately about legislation this week and this morning many of us were doing the same. Let me make it quite clear: I have no vested interest whatsoever. Blarney Woollen Mills, about which I spoke earlier, is not even in my constituency. I am just saying that so people understand where I am coming from.
