Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I took the lead in that both prior to last week and since last week I have written about the matter. We have received the views of the sole member of the tribunal on that matter. I do not think anything can be added to that by way of a further letter because we now know the current position. We are all agreed we would like to see this matter brought to a conclusion as soon as possible.
