-----at the committee meeting last week forgot all about. Does the Minister of State know who IBEC met? It met him, the other Minister of State, the Tánaiste and every senior official in the Department. That is some level of access. IBEC has that access and gets the legislation written in its interests.

I will remind the Minister of State of something else. It is three months since he said he would give me a call that afternoon because he was under pressure to pass the ventilation Bill. Since then, he has sent me a letter. I have written back looking for meetings and meetings and meetings. The Dáil has passed Second Stage of a Bill but we cannot get a meeting with the Minister of State about it because he has no interest in passing it completely and is engaged in cynical politics-----
