He stated that he proposed to reply on the following lines:
'I regret that I am not in a position to make a statement at present. We are endeavouring to bring the negotiations to a conclusion as quickly as possible, and I can assure the Deputy that I will take the earliest opportunity to make a statement to the Dáil.'
