I thank the Deputy. As I said to him, a representative of the liquidator has verbally advised the Department of Social Protection that all of the workers involved have been made redundant and that P45s will be issued this week. That is why the Department has notified all of the local offices that claims will be processed speedily and efficiently. When one examines company law, one realises this is obviously a very complex issue and changes should not be made lightly. The Minister of State, Deputy Gerald Nash, will prepare a report for the Government on all of the issues surrounding this matter. Perhaps it might be appropriate for the company law review group to examine what happened and how it evolved. That group is headed by a very capable person. The meetings that will take place in the next short period will bring to light all of the issues that evolved before this insensitive, swift action was taken following the court's decision to appoint a liquidator. The question of company law is one that, in the context of Clerys, could be examined by the company law review group which is headed by Mr. Courtney.
