I think we have a consensus. Everybody has addressed us.

The clerk to the committee will take note of our summary: that we visit the site or sites, if it is appropriate, in the manner in which the commission is happy to bring us there so that we are not asking the commission to compromise anything at all; that we will pass a motion, if we agree it now, worded by the clerk to the committee, to the Clerk of the Dáil asking that there would be statements by party leaders on this issue; and that we contact the Department with responsibility for Ordinance Survey Ireland, which is in charge of the LiDAR survey and if it is appropriate and makes scientific sense, such that the commission can sign off on such a measure, that it would happen. There is a total political imperative, if that makes sense, that we do it. They are all the issues. I think they are addressed in that.
