Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

The Government will, of course, consider any issue that arises. I cannot anticipate the progress of these discussions as they are ongoing. As I said, when there is an issue for briefing for Cabinet or for decision for Cabinet, that will be done. When we make the decisions, if there are decisions to be made, these matters will then be dealt with in the House. That is the normal procedure and it will be accommodated. I think that was all.
