Mr. Martin Callinan:

I have to be careful here. We were due to finish up but we had to extend it. As the Deputy knows, further discussions are now taking place with the LRC and the associations. Implicit in all of that is an agreement that the pilot will be further extended to straighten out some of the issues we have been speaking about. Within reason, I would think that possibly towards the end of the year we should have some sort of resolution. I hope we will. There are areas that are causing us some difficulty. They are things we have to iron out, but dialogue will get us there. I am happy enough that will be the case. I think the system we have in place will very much suit the policing of this country.

I have to be careful again but there are discussions and it is part of the dialogue that is continuing within the confines of the LRC. I hope we will have that resolved sooner rather than later.
