Notwithstanding the reservations that members may have, and I agree that it is short notice, there is a lot of work to be done and it is important fundamental work in relation to the end of year business for the Department, we should proceed as far as we can and do whatever we can. If we find it impossible to finish the job that we are given to do, we should look for another facility. Realising that we are coming near the end of the Dáil term, we should utilise whatever time is available to us as often as possible in order to deliver as much as possible within time.
