Yes. I do not think that we want to set conditions on what can and cannot be recommended. Let us see what they come up with and then, as an Oireachtas, we will look at that. Yes, there could be policy implications.

The Deputy asked whether there are things we can do in tandem to improve services. Yes, and we do not have to wait. If there are things that we know can be improved now then we should act on that now and we do not need to wait.

I am going to ask the Department to provide the committee with as detailed information as we can in terms of the provision of services and the coverage at the moment.
