I have a small request on a separate issue. At the previous meeting there may have been a perception among the representatives of the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation that we were blaming them. I walked past them outside and one comment I overheard was that one would swear they were responsible for the situation. It might be useful for us to send a letter saying that the robustness of the questions related to the issue and did not in any way apportion blame to them. They were definitely taken aback by the meeting.

I appreciate the point. That was the reason at the time I asked the Deputy to come to a halt. I am happy with where the Deputy wanted to go but we must do it in a different forum.

It was the views of those individuals that I was trying to get more than anything else.
