Dr. Dympna Kavanagh:

It was specifically written to and asked to submit a response. It responded in writing that it was declining to submit its responses. We had briefings and engagements with the association, as outlined. We met it specifically on the policy and we will meet it again on other issues. On the policy specifically, we met the association in 2018 and 2019, where we gave it a comprehensive briefing of the policy and an overview of the ethos. From our records, I do not think there was anything left out. We then met it again in 2019 before the policy was launched. I also had one-to-one engagement with the former president to discuss issues.
