If those senior people in Bord na Móna are becoming more entrenched in their view not to go to the WRC, the Minister has spent the past eight weeks obfuscating and not telling them to do so and we have a moral and social imperative to ensure these workers are not dumped on the scrapheap, should this committee write to the Minister? Should we state that, as a result of our discussions and this forum, the committee wants the Minister to tell Bord na Móna to engage in a meaningful way with the workers, the communities and their representatives in seeking a just transition? Would Ms King agree with that approach?
