I want to clarify that my question was not about whether it was reviewed by the Attorney General. Of course, it was. My question was a more specific one. When deciding on a policy rather than a legal point of view to simply transpose the existing provisions into the new Act, was any review done of how these provisions operated? Did anybody ask the CCMA, the LGMA or the Irish Planning Institute how often this has been used and whether there are issues, problems or challenges? Was there a written assessment done of that? To what extent was this area interrogated before a policy decision, not a legal decision, was made to leave things as they are?
