I am sympathetic to the Minister's intention to meet the Players' Council. While it will be a useful meeting, what Deputy McManus has said is also true, that the agenda is known. The Players' Council had more than nine people a few years ago. When the Minister gets advice from the Arts Council it will be impossible for her to solve the problem if the Abbey Theatre is instructed to find the money out of its annual grant allocation. The core of this problem has always been whether the Department of Finance would facilitate a once off payment of funds to enable the redundancy package to be implemented. This was an overhang that continued as the Abbey Theatre was responsible to different Ministers, including the Department of the Taoiseach. If, having met the Players' Council on 11 December, it becomes clear an approach to the Department of Finance is necessary, will it be made?
