By all means, the Deputy can come back and we will get our officials to talk with her in respect of the matter. On 10 May, the CWU advised Conduit, the contractor, that it was seeking the assistance of the advisory service of the Workplace Relations Commission and disengaging from any further industrial action. We are monitoring that. It is going to the Workplace Relations Commission where, hopefully, the issues can be resolved. There are a number of centres and when the one in Navan went offline the last time, the service was picked up by some of the other centres. From the public's point of view in relation to security, the service has been maintained. Naturally, whenever there is industrial action, it is concerning. I encourage all the parties involved to engage with the Workplace Relations Commission to resolve the issue.
