Mr. Martin Fraser:

I am afraid I am not going to list the concerns of Members of Dáil Éireann and then begin to say whether I agree or disagree with their concerns. What I have said is that I believe they were sincerely held and it was sufficiently important for me to recommend the unit be wound down. I do not need to feel any stronger about them than that they are sincerely held because the independence of the Civil Service is extremely important to me.
