Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

That is not correct. I have just made the point three times to the Deputy that the Government this morning decided on whatever legislative changes are required. Legal issues are involved. It is not a question, as Deputy Gilmore is seeking to portray, of people thumbing their nose or whatever. There are legal issues involved in this question and they must be resolved. The Government decided this morning that they will be resolved.
