Will the Minister agree to advise or request Bus Éireann management to set aside the letter to allow for negotiations? Given what lies ahead, in terms of the chaos in three weeks' time across our public transport network, will he do that? The Minister is aware of the unions'' perception of this letter. I believe it is an ultimatum to workers but the unions, workers and the public believe they are pre-conditions. If the Minister is genuine about wanting to see this matter resolved will he instruct Bus Éireann management to set aside that letter? Will he agree to do that this evening so that the two parties can come together in discussions?
