Seeing that Kildare County Council has been mentioned, is the Minister aware that the greatest source of intimidation in Kildare is that emanating from members of The Workers' Party themselves who have denied people the opportunity of paying such charges at £1 per week when such a system was devised — and who intimidate people outside the centres set up for such payment by standing there, taking their names and advising them not to pay? Does the Minister not consider that to be a source of great intimidation also?

Hear, hear.

I am well aware of those tactics.

If I may ignore the inaccuracies on the part of the member of Kildare County Council who has agreed to allow Kildare County Council use the provisions of the Offences Against the State Act against persons who are protesting at the imposition of water rates, may I ask the Minister——

This argument should be pursued at some chapel gate or in some hall. I am calling Deputy Molloy.
