Dr. Ciaran Byrne:

I am sorry to be slightly uninformative but I do not think we are in a position to comment on that. The Deputy expressed a very fine view but this is a matter of Government policy. We have been working with our parent Department. I know there was a retrofit working group at Secretary General level, which made proposals that were accepted by the Government. This is, therefore, the route we are on at the moment. The Deputy will appreciate that we are not really in a position to comment directly on his suggestion.
