I am bit concerned about postponing the meeting at this stage as we are in the run up to Christmas. We could well find ourselves without a slot if we encounter further inclement weather conditions to the extent we have today. We should go ahead with the meeting today and we can have a second meeting, if necessary. That would be a better proposal. I propose we have a second meeting to deal with any unfinished business. Otherwise, we could be in a position where we would be competing with many other committees for space. We need to avail of this opportunity when it is presented, deal with the issue as best we can and then return to it.
