For the record I am on campus. I have a number of questions. This has been discussed a bit already and as we know, the LDA will be co-ordinating the mapping of State lands for the purpose of housing delivery. What role, if any, will Tailte Éireann have in assisting with the LDA's State land database? The Ordnance Survey Ireland and Land Registry mapping systems are available online. Both of them are useful resources and are available to the public, professionals, and students. I use them myself quite a bit. Will these services be maintained? What consideration has the Department given to increasing public awareness of the new State body itself? Will the LDA’s current online mapping of State lands be folded into the database or will any of the CSO data like AIRO? Because the regulatory impact assessment states that the merger might have an effect on the consumer base, how long will it take the merger to be completed? Finally, where will the body be located? Ordnance Survey Ireland is located in the Phoenix Park. Will there be offices nationwide?
