I assure the Deputy that this matter is a priority for the Government, particularly for the Taoiseach and Tánaiste. I will convey his request for a briefing to the Taoiseach. As the Deputy acknowledged, the procedures relating to the establishment of the convention are complex, but they are well under way. Both Taoiseach and Tánaiste are extremely anxious for the convention to get down to its work as soon as possible.
