The Deputy is no doubt familiar with recent developments which have been reported in the press. We are following these developments very closely with a view to reactivating our application for membership as soon as a suitable opportunity offers.
Would the Taoiseach say he is content to read what is in the newspapers? Is he doing nothing else about it?
I certainly did not say that.
The Taoiseach said he was following the matter closely in the newspapers.
I said I assumed the Leader of the Deputy's Party was following it in the newspapers.
We are all following it.
