Mr. Padraig Cribben:

To respond to Senator Byrne's question on applying criteria, we understand this is a volatile situation. What we are looking for in the roadmap are the criteria that will apply. We are not seeking dates but we will be happy if the Government can give us dates, subject to certain criteria. However, on a number of occasions last year, we were told on a Thursday or Friday we could not open on a Monday. That wrecked people's heads. It wrecked them financially and mentally. This is not an industry that can restart at the flick of a light switch. There are a host of things that must be done. I ask that it is not left until the last minute to pull the plug.
