I want to put on the record that my name is spelt "Boyhan". The Minister might bring that to the attention of his secretarial assistant. It is not spelt "Boylan".

I am none the wiser. Last week, I took the trouble to look at several responses from the current Minister and previous Ministers, including Deputies Paschal Donohoe and Leo Varadkar. It is always the same old response. The line is that it is about to happen and that due diligence is about to be completed. The fact is we are none the wiser. None of this is new.

Currently, the company is under the responsibility of the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport. There has been no transfer. A range of issues arise. I am aware of the Minister's meeting with Deputy Boyd Barrett and a number of my colleagues in Dún Laoghaire. I am aware of various items of correspondence as well.

I shared some information on the matter in the House previously and I will say what I have already said again. There are legal issues, human resources issues and pension issues in respect of this company. I furnished some information to the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport last week and I received a letter from the Department in reply. Indeed, the Minister's signature may be on the letter, although I am not 100% certain - I will check it when I go downstairs. In any event, I furnished information in respect of two High Court proceedings in respect of this company and this was acknowledged by the Department. All is not well in this company. All is not sailing well out there.

I appeal to the Minister to look at all the current issues in respect of the governance of the company that are under his watch. I will write to the Minister in this regard. We are none the wiser. I would appreciate if the Minister would keep the House informed. I have spoken to a number of my colleagues and, if necessary, I will arrange for a number of parliamentary questions to be put to the Minister in the Dáil next week.
