Perhaps we could have a session on procurement. A great witness would be Dr. Paul Davis. He is a lecturer on procurement. It has come up multiple times around our infrastructure projects. It would be a session focusing on procurement blockages, what is going wrong, why we are seeing issues like with the national children's hospital in terms of change orders going through, and how to fix that process so that, when procuring for large capital public projects in future, we get off to a good start. That could be very relevant for this committee. We have our new disability strategy and there are huge issues with access for people with physical disabilities. We could have a session on how to strengthen it with the Irish Wheelchair Association, for example, and groups like that to talk about what it means for them on a day-to-day basis. It would be great for our report. We could make recommendations on which Departments could be strengthened in terms of transport.
