The people listening to this know that the Minister has absolutely failed this sector, not just last year but over successive Governments which created the crisis that we are in today. He needs to take his head out of the sand, deal with it today, deal with it quickly and deal with urgently. If he does not, more will close and he and the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, will have to deal with the reality and the consequences of that which should not happen. It is in his gift to deal with it and he should deal with it.
