Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

On the first matter, I will bring Deputy Rabbitte's point to the attention of the Tánaiste. On the second issue, I will have to check the position but, as I understand it, when we did the care and maintenance agreement after the institutions collapsed, we had to formally agree that. There is also an agreement which has to be signed based on the British-Irish Agreement and the amendment to the 1999 Act when the institutions are devolved, hopefully on Monday. I assume that covers the Deputy's question but I will check the point.
