Tom Kitt (Dublin South, Fianna Fail)

There is no question of standing still. I said earlier that the key challenge for us is to stay ahead, to remain innovative and creative and to look at the knowledge side of this and the use to which the knowledge is put. I am trying to outline the broader objectives today. There is a wealth of information coming on stream. I am not in a position today to outline the response to these two reports because they have not yet arrived on my desk. When we get them, we will announce a clear and definite way forward.
