Eugene Murphy (Fianna Fail)

I welcome the Minister of State and his officials. I acknowledge that this document is brief, and it is good. Sometimes we have a lot of material being read out by people. They made their points here and that is important. Deputy Ó Cuív made the points very well and I will not labour them because Deputy Ó Laoghaire is here and there are other people online who want to make a contribution. I first want to say that I think we agree across parties that Deputy Ó Cuív has made such a contribution to these schemes. He was Minister of State from 1997 to 2002 and then was Minister for rural affairs and the Gaeltacht from 2002 to 2010.
