I am very conscious of that but the problem with parliamentary party meetings is the fact that most of the time, we have meetings late on a Wednesday afternoon. I am sure we have the same problem with the meetings of the Fianna Fáil, Sinn Féin and Labour Party parliamentary parties and those of the Independents, not to forget our good friend Deputy O'Sullivan. The difficulty is that sometimes, we are caught with the Tánaiste's itinerary and the time at which he is available so that is why we have to push back meetings to 3.30 p.m. or 4.30 p.m. and it then clashes with our own parliamentary party meeting. I do not know what time the other parties have their parliamentary party meetings at but I know that part of the problem on a Wednesday afternoon is the fact that the meeting of our parliamentary party is on a Wednesday afternoon.
