We have not heard what the funding commitment will be. As the Minister of State is aware, Galway County Council deferred its budget meeting until next Monday to see what the outcome of this discussion would be. We have heard nothing from the Minister of State on funding. We will be going back to Galway this afternoon with nothing to report to those concerned.

I am interested in sitting down with the Minister of State to talk to him about the status quoin the 1980s when there was one manager and two chambers. I am open-minded on the idea, although I am not saying I will agree to it, but I still believe we should have a separate Bill and withdraw this one.
