Mr. Tadhg Daly:

Our first communication to the Department was in February. As to what we suggested at that time, I had come across some evidence from my colleagues in Scotland that we should replicate some of the advice and guidance there. That took some time to take hold. It is fair to say we had a good engagement with officials, but clearly we were also exasperated by the fact that we had not met the Minister at that stage. The meeting was, I think, at the end of March.
