Ruairi Quinn (Dublin South East, Labour)

I am aware of the fears that have been expressed but it is far too early to state whether a trend is emerging. However, we will keep the matter under review. If those fears are confirmed, then we will be obliged to take action to reverse the position. It would not be in anyone's interest, for the reasons the Deputy expressed and which I support, for a deterioration in quality to occur.
