Perhaps I will be allowed raise on the Adjournment the position in Telecom Éireann as a result of the unexpected and bombshell resignation of Mr. Byrnes and the detrimental effect this will have on Telecom Éireann and the 17,000 staff.

The Chair will communicate with the Deputy. He will be out of time in another second or two.

The Minister is responsible for this decision and Government policy has resulted in the resignation of a very experienced and highly qualified chief executive.
