I asked that question because it is related to my next one. The Minister has stated that, as far as he is concerned, neither party has set preconditions to beginning discussions. I have to disagree with him in that it is quite clear that the acting CEO of Bus Éireann has set out preconditions in his recent letter to workers in which he outlines the actions he intends to take in the coming weeks. What is the Minister's opinion on the letter sent to workers? Does he agree that the actions outlined in the letter are, in fact, preconditions to entering negotiations?
