Jim Daly (Cork South West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

There was a meeting this week, and I await the final decision in that regard. I looked for an answer this morning because I was expecting that Deputy Curran would raise the matter. I may have an answer this afternoon. I do not want to build any expectations, but I will get an update this afternoon and will extend it to both Deputies. I appreciate where the Deputies are coming from, and I share their concern at a political level. I want a final decision to be made on this issue. We sometimes have to be careful what we wish for. If it is rushed, the wrong decision can be reached. We want the correct decision to be made, and a positive decision. I appreciate that time is of the essence for the people waiting at the other end of these responses. They are real people with real lives, and we have to keep that in mind.
