Are we proposing that we write to our MEPs and the Tánaiste? The Tánaiste has stated he would pursue the issue at EU level. Obviously, nothing has been agreed yet, but it is up to this committee to write to the Tánaiste following today’s meeting with the delegation to ask him to pursue this matter at EU level. To achieve agreement at EU level will always be difficult when there are 27 member states, but we must ask ourselves where plan B is if an agreement is not reached. Have members any thoughts on that?
