Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail)

I support the Deputy, who is dead right. We need a deadline. There is more than bipartisan support in regard to this matter. We need a deadline as to when, if it is not possible to change the Union's mind, we can proceed under Axis 1. We will not hear any dispute among rural Deputies in the House if that is the approach taken. The Minister will have our support. The matter requires urgent attention.
