I will not ask Bus Éireann to withdraw any letter as to do so would be to get involved in this dispute, which is something I do not intend to do. I am afraid I will not be able to do what the Deputy is asking. I do not feel it would be the right thing to do. As the Deputy knows, the WRC talks have adjourned. The company and the unions have both stated that they wish to return to the WRC. I see no reason that opportunity to return to the WRC to re-engage should not be taken up at the earliest possible opportunity. I think that should be done without any preconditions on either side.
