Mr. Jim Breslin:

I am happy to keep the committee up to date and to advise it. I hope we will not only go to the Government but also put a workable proposition to it that would allow us to publish. I am happy to revert to the committee in a number of weeks to outline the position. I will have no difficulty in doing so.

On interaction with the Government, we have been working under the policy direction of the Minister of State, Deputy Kathleen Lynch, and keeping the Minister, Deputy Leo Varadkar, informed of developments. This has been across the Government's table on a number of occasions. It has set up an interdepartmental committee and so on. The next opportunity it will have for engagement on the matter will be when we circulate our proposals, which will happen shortly.
