I agree with the Senator wholeheartedly. The Bill certainly outlines critical key roles for local authorities across many areas, including inventories etc. I might ask Mr. Kirwan to come in specifically on those.

Certainly, from our list of consultees thus far, the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine has been part of that process. Again, if the committee here decides or sees fit to perhaps bring in the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine specifically in consideration of the scrutiny of the Bill, it might be useful as well.
