Several reports issued during Deputy Martin's time in government identified and discussed options. Deputy Martin wants all of this examined. I have no difficulty with that and am perfectly happy with it but I would like to see the matter examined by a competent authority. I would like to see all the matters reviewed and would like to ensure it happens in a reasonable timeframe.
