Alan Kelly (Tipperary North, Labour) | Oireachtas source

I have already confirmed to the House that I am prepared to meet them. There is no issue in that regard; it is a question of agreeing a time. That is my commitment. The process must be gone through. It has begun and it is necessary to undertake it as part of the tendering process. It needs to be executed. I am determined to ensure a fair solution to the issues involved which have been raised by several Deputies will be found, either through the SICAP model or whatever necessary measures need to be taken in parallel with the process. It is not possible to go into the detail of the matter now, but I assure the Deputy that I will be keeping a close eye on it to ensure a fair distribution.
