Joe McHugh (Donegal North East, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I realise some Members did not contribute today but they are supportive of the project. Senator Terry Brennan, who is outside the committee, tried to come in, but we are over time. Deputy Joe O'Reilly has spoken on this issue previously as well, and I appreciate that.

Some proposals have been put forward. I propose we write to the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste and include a full transcript of the contributions today. Each member is reported in the transcript. I propose to encourage the Taoiseach, who has regular contact with the British Prime Minister, to use his influence to highlight the importance of this project and to press for a decision. Timing is all important at an executive level.
