I might have to give out to Mr. O'Mahony for hiring him, because he was so good at his job. I accept that this is a policy issue, but the senior Department officials who deal with it cannot remove themselves from the reality of what is occurring around the country. I will continue to make the case for Waterford Airport, as I have done in this forum countless times. The airport must be funded and it cannot be allowed to shut. The officials dealing with this, including Mr. O'Mahony, must take that into consideration when it comes to capital spending allocations into the future.

My final question relates to the report on the Central Remedial Clinic that has just been published. Does the Chairman intend to dispense with this element of the meeting before discussing the CRC issue?
