I thank the Senator. To reiterate what Mr. Forde said, when the NSAI study is produced, it is about that evidence base and we should work on evidence on this. I am aware people have concerns and worries about possibilities but I propose we deal with the evidence where we can rely on that.

We move to the second Green Party slot. I have two brief questions. I will not take up the full time because I want to let others in as well. This series of three meetings has generated quite a lot of public interest in this. For members of the public looking in, what is happening these days that stops this from happening now? How have we confidence these deleterious materials are not making their way into new builds at the moment?
