It was helpful and useful to have the debate today and I thank the members for their support and agreement on the way forward. We need to examine the resolution process, however. Further, other members asked to table motions after the deadline had passed and I had a discretion on whether to allow them. I decided not to allow them as we would be here forever if we did not stick to the deadline and would have ongoing problems and issues. We are now clear on where we stand on this matter and I know we all hope there will be a positive resolution following the talks. As there is no other business at this point, and I am conscious the Dáil and the Seanad will sit at 11.30 a.m., the committee will adjourn.
