I think Senator Mac Lochlainn's suggestion that he and the Minister of State, Deputy McHugh, might meet the Minister could be facilitated soon. That might lead to progress in this regard. The Minister of State, Deputy Jim Daly, does not have responsibility for this issue. Ministers of State sometimes have to fulfil certain duties when Ministers are unavailable. Perhaps the Senator's proposal could be worked on expeditiously. That might be a better way to proceed. If not, the Senator can certainly raise the matter here again.
