Joe O'Reilly (Cavan-Monaghan, Fine Gael)

I thank the Minister of State for his comprehensive reply. The last paragraph of his response was particularly helpful in that it appears to indicate that a solution is at hand. I ask him to confirm that he is confident of a favourable outcome to the intergovernmental negotiations on the ratio of financing and assure me of early issuance of the letter of offer. The delays thus far have been so lengthy that any further delay could put the project at risk.
