Go raibh míle maith agat a Chathaoirligh agus a Threoraí Gníomhach. I passed the portal as I was walking through town today and it is great to see it back up and running. Two security officers are there minding it. We will be a better country and a better city when we do not need people to mind it because it is a great amenity and I hope it lasts.
I am ambivalent on the question of hunting.
I could be described as a pacifist perhaps because of my physique. I only ever fired a gun once in my life. That was in America where it is almost compulsory but it was at a non-animate target; I do believe in the importance of process and consultation.
