Mr. P. J. Fitzpatrick:

No. Obviously, the agreement will only survive for as long as it continues to deliver and as long as there is co-operation with it. I am around industrial relations long enough to know that things can be fine today and something can happen tomorrow out of the blue. Let us be under no illusion that industrial peace can never be taken for granted. It is never a given. It has to be worked at and preserved. As regards when the agreement might end, I would have thought probably the end of next year or early 2014. It is really a matter for the parties.
