The board and the management have made it quite clear, and I assume the trade unions feel the same, that there is a platform and basis for negotiations which will enable them to come to an agreement, hopefully in the next seven or eight days. That has been made quite clear by both parties and both of them are seeking the same objective. The Deputy is trying to draw me into the same situation as others, which is to get involved in something where it would not be helpful. I am optimistic that the parties who are employed by the State to identify and solve problems of this nature will do so. It is not the shareholder's job to do the job of the management.
