I recognise what the Minister is saying, namely, that there are aspects of the company's plan that require ministerial consent and others that do not, and that the company can proceed as it so wishes. Let me ask the Minister an embracing question in this regard. In light of his discussions with the board of management and his recognition of what he can and cannot do regarding decisions or consent, is he happy in general with the state of operations at Dún Laoghaire Harbour? Is he happy with the approach of management and his engagement with the board? Does he feel comfortable with the board's understanding of his concerns? Is management taking the appropriate action to ensure the viability of the operation? Is the Minister assured that management's approach to corporate governance is adequate? Does he believe the relationship between the Department and the company is what it should be based on the role he has outlined?
