I thank Mr. Walsh. When he was here before, he spoke about difficulties in the planning process and he has been more clear here. I think we all realise the changed circumstances we are in and what is referred to as the cost-of-living crisis. It has a huge impact on building at every level of project.

I will raise two things. Previously we discussed how planning is being looked at by the Government. The Attorney General is carrying out his review. I had asked if there had been any interaction between his office and TII. I think there has been. Will Mr. Walsh update the committee on that? I imagine that, if TII has been given a forum, it has put to it what it has put to the committee. Where are the conversations at? Then it is a case of how we can move this on.
