The one issue that remains outstanding, which Deputy O'Reilly has also listed, is that relating to CETA. It is a full year since the Attorney General was before the Supreme Court and it gave its ruling. It is a year since that was given to the Attorney General to, as I understand it, make changes to the legislation, namely,the arbitration Acts and so on. Has the Minister of State any sense as to what is happening there? Are we going to see this coming forward? It is a matter of concern and interest that even though the trade issue is growing and all the other relationships are very strong, this still remains on the table and needs to be resolved one way or the other. Where does the Minister of State see it going, and how soon will the Attorney General come back with it?
