When we were preparing this report as an Oireachtas committee, our remit was to make policy recommendations. We do not represent the Government. In our report, we took into account what people had to say. Obviously, there was no need for us to include a verbatim rendering of what everybody said. That was not the purpose of our exercise. I want to keep the meeting moving. I will come back to the JMB and the NPC. I know they would like to respond on a couple of points. I will bring in the three members of the committee who have indicated before I come back to the witnesses.
