I am asking the Minister to take the letter away because it is an obstacle and its removal would create a level playing field. Sometimes there are obstacles in disputes. The main obstacle in this dispute is the letter. I do not mean to keep repeating myself. As a former businessman, I think the letter is wrong and is not achieving anything. The Minister is a good Minister who does not want to see Bus Éireann closing. The letter is not achieving anything and should be withdrawn as a gesture of goodwill. The removal of this obstacle would get the talks going.
