Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 63, 82, 94 and 98 together.
I refer the Deputies to my reply to Question No. 58 earlier this afternoon.
We had a lengthy debate on this issue earlier. Will a public announcement be made on 10 December after the Minister takes the matter to Cabinet?
Clearly, that is dependent on the Government reaching a decision on that date. The announcement will be made, if possible, this year. That is what I promised.
