Deputy Ó Broin is correct in guessing where I am going to go with this. I want to have a talk about balanced regional development. Before that, I echo Senator Cummins's thanks to the Cathaoirleach for his work as Chair of this committee. I am not a member of this committee but, as Chair, he has been very welcoming to non-members like me who take an interest in matters like the one we are discussing today. He has always been generous with time to non-members. I thank him for that.

I did not have the benefit of the earlier part of the discussion, so apologies if I am going over issues that have been thrashed out in depth already. From reading the statement from the Climate Change Advisory Council, it endorses the draft NPF review as is. Is that correct? Is it also the case it is saying it should be nailed down or implemented, essentially, as soon as possible?
