I do not think it would have been helpful then either. I do not believe it would be any more helpful at the 11th hour to do that. I am very hopeful that the parties will get together again in the next few days and behave in a responsible manner. That is the consistent position I have taken. The Deputy holds a different point of view but it is not one the Government shares. I reject that I am doing nothing or sitting back. The evidence is there; I have been extraordinarily active in this particular area but not in intervening in an industrial dispute.
