I am already aware of the issues raised by Retail Excellence Ireland in relation to commercial rents. As I indicated in my reply to Questions Nos. 486 and 487 on 22 November, I hope that I will shortly be in a position to provide some additional clarity as to the subject matter of the letter. The other issues raised in the Retail Excellence Ireland letter come within the remits of the Ministers for Finance, Social Protection and Environment and Local Government, and I note that the Deputy has also posed this question to them.
