Ms Caroline Timmons:

The engagement has been with the relevant bodies as opposed to with the parent Department in that regard. Obviously, as was identified earlier, the National Standards Authority of Ireland, NSAI, is doing the main technical work on that. This is the correct body to engage with on that. Geological Survey Ireland, GSI, is the other body involved in that particular type of work. There has been no particular necessity to involve the Department to date, but we have certainly been engaging with the bodies under the Department and the agencies in terms of making sure we have the right expertise.
