I concur with those who welcomed the Taoiseach's letter to the leaders of the Opposition parties. I also pay tribute to the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government who showed enlightenment and courage in the face of ridicule during the past week. He took an initiative which was necessary, namely, putting the dire situation in which we find ourselves above party politics and asking all others to subscribe to the same motivation. I will not anticipate what the leaders of the Opposition parties will do, but I hope they will show the commitment so well articulated by Senator Bradford and that they will rise to his level of response. The country awaits and needs such a response.

In talking about the national interest would Senator Regan be prepared to clarify in the House the motivation behind his letter to the European Commission on the establishment of NAMA, given the revelations in the High Court yesterday?
