I thank Ms Hynes and Mr. Ó Conghaile for attending. I wish to put a number of things to them. I spoke in recent days to some IAA workers and asked if there were any points they wished to put. Their response was that they are happy that mediation is finally under way and that many of the problems that were being buried and whose existence, in some quarters, was being denied are now being looked at and examined independently by Kieran Mulvey. That is a good thing. They basically said they had no questions. When a process is under mediation, it is important we adhere to that but I have my own question arising from it, particularly given the looming separation of the company at the end of March 2022. Will the big issues, which are IR and pension issues, be resolved at that point?
