The Minister of State talked about a process. The second interim report was issued on 26 April 2018. After it was issued we, as public representatives, were invited to a briefing rather than a consultation and were told that this is it and that we would have no input. Furthermore, it gives the game away in one important national aspect. There is talk about bringing the industrial agencies together for a consultation but, extraordinarily, Údarás na Gaeltachta was not even mentioned. That shows that the mindset is that the rest is what is called hinterland.
