The Deputy has asked a good question. The commission has issued its draft research programme for people to feed into. We are not restricting the commission. It has set out its work programme. A view has been articulated here and in the House as to what people's views are, particularly in light of an ever growing population. The commission is going to look at this specific matter. Its jobs is to then come back with proposals and potential recommendations that would, rightly, come back to the Oireachtas and this Government or a future Government for assessment. The commission is not restricted in its research.
