so, for paul o'dwyer from county -- said i.t. should come first. for me, a more important line from paul o'dwyer was when he said politics are the only machinery around on which you can really straighten things out. that is what we are about here. in ireland and the united states and around the world or as they would say sort it out and straighten it out. so i'm very happy to give this word about a man that i admired and that i met on a number of occasions and my abiding memory of paula dwyer was when he came to the local authority and honored him with a city reception. and there he sat in the chairman's big letter chair with a man of hair with his eyes like beacons of democracy saying we should exercise the ghosts of the past the ones we have been fighting for so many years and at the same time he lashed out at everybody and not local authority saying these are the things that you should do. as you say brian, he never forgot his roots and it is my true wish to follow in his footsteps in that regard. thank you very much.
