I thank Mr. Ó Coigligh for saying that he will publish the submissions. That will be very helpful. Does he know how many submissions were received? Was there a mechanism for weighting them? Some of us may sift through them all and see where recommendations were accepted or rejected in the general scheme. What was the process for sifting through the submissions to decide on key issues such as the thresholds, public submissions for licences on existing abstractions and so on?
