Ms Celine Crawford:

On the question about industry involvement, what we have not mentioned is that we have an exhibition. We have the entirety of the RDS, with a huge exhibition space where people normally walk in. Many from industry are deciding to participate and attend. We also have Simmonscourt, where we will have our plenaries that could have up to 3,000 or 4,000 people in attendance at the very high level sessions. The strategics directly after that will delve into the next level. We would expect maybe 1,000 or 1,500 at those. The topics are similar to those I referenced, such as transport safety. The plenaries are much higher level, with some being on the political spectrum, with the addition of academia and industry.

We also have outside demonstration space. I am sure members have all been to the RDS and seen all the outside space. We are encouraging people who are going to sponsor or exhibit to bring along something that can be shown or demonstrated externally. This is for things such as the drones Deputy Matthews referred to earlier. We have all that outside space and we hope that we will have interesting, interactive and innovative external demonstrations.

In addition, we are also hosting technical tours, where we get an opportunity to showcase the best Ireland has to offer from a transport and mobility perspective. We will organise trips by attendees. They will get to book in advance, once they register for the conference, to attend various areas. They could go and see battery-operated trains with regard to Irish Rail or areas could relate to Transport Infrastructure Ireland, Dublin Port and perhaps Rosslare.
