Dr. Seán Brady:

The gravity of the situation is very apparent to the IGB. There was a call by the former Taoiseach, Brian Cowen, and Ivan Yates to enter mediation between the two parties with the assistance of Kieran Mulvey. Two meetings were held with Mr. Mulvey but he was not able to broker a solution. Informal contacts have been going on ever since and also with Mr. Mulvey. I spoke to Mr. Mulvey on Monday to see if he would get involved in the process again. We need a solution and we will do anything we can to find one.
