Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I have discussed this with my officials in recent days. A final management position on the implementation of the directive will be submitted to me for my consideration and approval. Thereafter, our officials will work with officials in the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, who will take forward the appropriate legislative framework. I have asked my officials to expedite this, to make sure the dialogue I referenced earlier can be brought to a conclusion and to get the final management position in so that we can move on this issue.
