The Tánaiste has responded as I thought she would, so there is no surprise there. I did not necessarily come here for a lesson on this. I appreciate it is not an easy job that the Tánaiste has to do but she did not answer some of the fundamental questions I asked. She met deferred members with her officials. At that time, I understand, there were discussions around an additional payment of about €54 million. They assumed the Tánaiste was going to do something and she did not.

I actually agree with the Tánaiste on the 2009 Act. However, the reality is that, in this regard, we are proposing an amendment that would change that.
