The Croke Park deal will expire. I am being upfront on this. If the Department has a provision negotiated under the Croke Park agreement, it is for a maximum period of four years as that is when the agreement will expire. How does Mr. Burke reasonably expect this provision would continue after the agreement expires? How could the Department even contemplate that it would continue after that? Has the Department a problem in terms of this issue after the Croke Park agreement expires?
