I want to concur with what was said at the meeting. We could not make a decision because the Cabinet meeting had not finished. I suggested that we postpone until 4 p.m. This matter is extremely serious, as we all know. The last thing I want to see is another tribunal that drags on, makes fat cats fatter and gets us nowhere. All of the groups here should be represented at an all-party group to try to formulate terms and conditions. The Taoiseach, Tánaiste and the Minister, Deputy Zappone, should come in here and make brief statements, and then take questions and answers from people across the floor. That is very necessary.
