I thank the witnesses for attending and answering the question. Many people were caught on the blind side by it and we were reacting to the communications we received a week ago. Today we were all trying to find a solution that might allow the problem to go away, if possible. I welcome the window given and it should be used for the consultation with and education of people and to see if it is possible to reach a solution that would be acceptable to all sides. A compliment is being paid to RTE in that the service is so important to so many people across the water.
