The Minister has said that there is no doubt that the Cabinet sub-committee will accept the report. As we do not know what is in the report, we do not know what the sub-committee is accepting. What if the Cabinet sub-committee does not accept the report? This is a danger. It is not 100% definite. The Minister is not stating she knows the paper or the resolution will be accepted.

I do not mind which amendment we agree to propose. I am prepared to consider with other members whether the period should be two months or three months. It is very important we do not let this slip. People are still very cautious and suspicious of the process of Government. It is a blatant injustice. If we do not get it sorted out in the next period of time, it will not be good for people. Why is the Minister in no doubt that the Cabinet sub-committee will accept the report, that it will go to Cabinet and that the Minister, Deputy Donohoe, will say the Government will pay out?
