I am anxious to see the stakeholder forum. We should not be afraid of a stakeholder forum. It is something that should be an integral part of this whole process because you have to have all the wider players together, notwithstanding the consultation process.

I think that is the point Deputy Flaherty was making. Having all of those diverse viewpoints in the room to have a wider discussion is helpful rather than it being a negative.
