No one wants this to move forward more than the Government. We want to see the independent chairman and independent directors in place. We want to see an independent chief executive appointed as quickly as possible. We are happy to work with those people and do our best to move this forward and achieve progress. Earlier we discussed the process of appointing the independent directors, which should have started earlier. We are where we are. As the Minister, Deputy Ross, said earlier, we want to meet those people the day they are appointed and get stuck in. Unfortunately, we are not at that point yet, but we want to get there and we want to work with those people.
