It should be eminently possible to come up with a solution. I believe Dáil Éireann should have a role in this. I understand the Minister when he says it needs to be submitted to the Government for approval, but I believe the legislation could and should contain a provision that the Government should put the matter before the Dáil for debate. I agree with Deputy Boyd Barrett that we should bring it centre stage and keep the pressure on. That would be a positive way of dealing with it. Certainly, it should not be beyond the ability of legal draftsmen to incorporate this.
