When does the Taoiseach anticipate that the review of the Anglo-Irish Agreement to be completed by November next might be commenced and who will be involved in that review?

The simple answer is that both Governments would be the primary agencies involved in the review, but I could not at this stage give the Deputy any indication of when that work might be completed or whether in the event either would have to go outside their own ambit to get views.

I asked when that work would commence. Does the Taoiseach not feel that early commencement of it would be beneficial in the light of the problems that now exist?

Yes, I would agree with the Deputy that, whatever about an early commencement, time should be taken to ensure that a full review is undertaken.
