Willie O'Dea (Limerick City, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I dispute the Minister's figure strongly. I regard the figure as absolute nonsense. Leaving that aside, I had occasion to meet the people in question last week. They were here and saw the Dáil in all its pomp and ceremony pass the motion on their behalf but they have not heard a single word from any source since. They asked me to ask the Minister to instruct her civil servants to meet them and apprise them of what is going on. The Minister said a high level committee was looking at the matter. When did that committee last meet? How many times has it met this year?
