If I can interpret that reply as being less than satisfactory, I hope that I am sharing Deputy Carthy's view of it. As an independent or an external chair, what type of discussions are under way with the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment? We are told on a regular basis that if there is one issue that causes grave difficulty or gives rise to real progress, it is the issue of the working time directive. The fact of the matter is that it is not happening. Can any of the four people here tell us that it is happening? If so, under what timeframes because the timeframes that have been indicated to us and predicted have not been met?
