As I stated in the Dáil on 4th December last, I put certain suggestions to the British Prime Minister for off-setting the charge referred to in the question. This matter is due to be discussed further at the Ministerial meeting which will take place later this month.

I did not anticipate I would because the pattern of the meetings now taking place was envisaged when I made the original suggestion.
