I know I am. I am just telling the Acting Chairperson that. I will go back over it all again. I am asking the Minister of State to support this amendment. As I said, he is a TD and is responsible. He has form. He is on record as saying that he supports the principles of this amendment. That is what he has said. This is his hour, his moment and his time. He has the opportunity to support it. Either he supports these two asks or he does not. It is as simple as that. People are looking in here. They will be shaking their heads and asking whether this fella is not making sense. Am I not making sense? The ask is simple and it is something the Minister of State's city and county councillors want. They want a role for their elected mayor, the principle of which I support, at the very front of the implementation of regeneration projects. I ask the Minister of State to please reflect on that and to indicate his support for it here today. I do not intend to defer this matter today. I am not going to. We had other issues regarding the policing committee, which is another matter, and we are guillotined. I do not want this particular issue to fall to any guillotine. I do not want that to happen.
