I honestly do not think that that is the remit of the Committee of Public Accounts either. Yet, I am concerned about the consultation. I was at that committee last week. Most of the members who were before the committee will have done their homework and all of that. However, most of them were not from the greater Dublin area. You start wondering whether consultations are a box-ticking exercise or a meaningful engagement. I would have thought, for example, that Deputy Carthy knows Cavan-Monaghan and the Chair knows Laois better than I would. It is the same situation for people who are in the greater Dublin area. I am concerned about the consultation process and things that would be missed.
