The committee, as ever, will be interested in participating in that when the material is available, at whatever stage in the process is best. I note from Ms Graham's opening statement that the Department only met on Monday on this module. I was looking through the membership of the advisory forum. I note that the Dublin Democratic Planning Alliance has written to the Minister of State, Deputy Burke, who is chair of the advisory forum, suggesting that it could have a role in or contribute to the forum. I support that and I think members of the committee would be of the same view. I ask that Ms Graham, in her role as vice-chair of the advisory forum, outlines that the committee supports the Dublin Democratic Planning Alliance as part of civil society engagement, which is an important part of the process.
