Can that response be circulated? I am very disappointed to hear that, in light of the action taken by the Ombudsman's office and the Chairman's intervention. We are dealing with the previous Waterford issue, which is a different matter entirely, but this is going on for a number of years and is equally unjust. We have members of the Byrne family here today. It is bitterly disappointing that the Department is holding the line very clearly when the copy of the letter from the Attorney General to the Minister of State, Deputy McHugh, dated December 16 states that she has furnished a copy of same to the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy Coveney, and that this is a matter for his Department's consideration. There is no legal impediment from the Attorney General's office to this being dealt with by the Department. I can circulate a copy of that. Is there any way we can get a review of this decision?
