Ms Brenda McVeigh:

I cannot comment on that. I sound like a broken record but I have to keep coming back to the fact that in the unknown, it is difficult to quantify any of these issues. We have put forward what we see as issues of concern, our position being that while they remain a concern, we should not do anything to ramp them up. We have been advised that there certainly is potential for job losses. I assume the Government would not do anything - from what we are hearing in the Department, it seems clear the Government will not do anything - which would jeopardise jobs if we do not have to do it.
