Mr. John Corrigan:

I have already said that there is a need to consider this matter and that if there are rules to be applied, then they must be applied universally to all commercial and non-commercial State bodies. That is a matter of policy and it is not something in which we have a direct involvement. In so far as NTMA employees are the subject of concern - I understand the concerns that have been expressed - as I informed Deputy Michael McGrath, my senior management team and I will be reviewing the position in respect of them. I honestly cannot go any further than that.
