I thank Mr. Martin Collins. Actually, today is my father's birthday, may the Lord have mercy on him. It brought me right back to when daddy was in the markets and the word "boss" and you would think, why are we calling people that? It was strategic. It was about being nice and being strategic, as I say plámás. Be very kind to get what you want, "Yes, three bags full" and get out. It was all about the greed and getting money.

I am not putting Hughie and John on the spot. Because I have respect for the elderly, I left Martin with an extra few minutes. I am only messing . I withdraw that comment. If anybody who has not spoken would like to speak it is up to them. This is the last opportunity, if I do not see any hands. No? Here is another Pavee Point worker. Go on.
