Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

As the Deputy knows, because he has worked with us on this over the last number of months, we have been endeavouring to deal with the outstanding issues on all the points he has raised. The first objective is to complete the work we have been involved in for several weeks in negotiating with Gama's legal advisors who are currently our only contact with the company. This is not the best way to deal with the matter but it has been forced upon us.
