I reluctantly propose that we do not invite them in until we establish that all other avenues have been exhausted. That would be simple enough if Deputy Buckley were to bring a letter to the next private meeting indicating he has confirmation that the petitioners have exhausted all avenues open to them. In that case, then we would be in the last chance saloon and we could get them in straight away. All we would be doing is deferring the matter for a few days if Deputy Buckley would agree to that.
