I have a close personal interest, apart from a political interest, in how this matter evolves. I expect that, given my interest in the issue and that of the Minister, Deputy Richard Bruton, the ODCE will keep us informed. There is a huge amount of public interest in this issue. Decisions will have to be taken by the Government and Departments on the next steps to be taken. It would be remiss of me, however, to make any statement on the matter before the process has been concluded. The Clerys liquidation process is in the hands of the liquidators under the supervision of the High Court. We will assess the position when that process has been concluded.
