Kathleen Lynch (Cork North Central, Labour)

It is difficult to know whether this will happen or in what circumstances it could happen. The point is noted. I am sure the Department will examine it. It is difficult to see in what circumstances this would happen. I am sure no matter how the Government of the day was made up, it would ensure such a scenario would not play out. It is a very technical issue and I am sure there will be a very straightforward answer when people examine it.
