I am not here to question Independent News & Media. As far as the pension situation is concerned, this is not the forum for such a discussion today. There are other fora in which to deal with that issue. I cannot go into that area. I very much regret that there has been a change in the structure but that is a discussion for another day. I am under no obligation to anybody - political party or otherwise - but the way I look at it is that when the Competition Authority said the acquisition was within its rules, that is fine by me. I do not see a queue lining up for the Celtic Media Group. I am concerned for the 98 jobs. I am also concerned about the jobs that are spread around the country. It is very hard to get such jobs in certain areas. I support the takeover by INM. That is a personal opinion.
