I was made aware of that in recent times. I certainly will be prepared to engage with the company on that basis again to see whether its position has shifted. I can assure Deputy Ryan that we are in a position to proceed immediately with a pyrite resolution board. We have the terms of reference approved. However, I must go to Government on the matter of the mandatory level, if that is where I end up.

I assure Deputy Ryan that I will not waste any more time in waiting around for persons to make up their minds about this matter. I was asked because of those important meetings today in the construction side and I want to give them the necessary space between tonight and tomorrow to come to a resolution on these matters, which I hope they do.
