The only way this can be resolved is by getting the Minister of State, the officials and IALPA back around the table. I propose that the Chairman take part in those discussions to give them a bit of urgency and to allow for some political oversight. I suggest he go to those discussions. This Bill is before the Seanad. It is basically stalled and waiting to go back in. We need a bit of impetus to get some agreement. Some progress has been made. However, to give it something extra, I ask that this committee set up such a meeting and that the Chairman sit in as our representative and take part in those deliberations.
