Deputy Varadkar said quite specifically that we would engage in discussions on the free travel scheme. This seems to conflict with the conversation Deputy Fitzpatrick had with him. We will engage in discussions on the free travel scheme. I confirm that I have been in touch with the Minister, Deputy Varadkar, I will speak to him and my officials and the Minister will engage on the issue of the free travel scheme. I hope Deputy Fitzpatrick has no doubt about this whatsoever. It is absolutely unambiguously true that those discussions will commence.
