Ms Caoimhe de Barra:

I think what has taken the Government a little by surprise is the pace at which this is now moving. We do not necessarily always expect processes within the European Union to move this quickly, but they are moving, as Ms Tunney said earlier, according to the timelines that were set out at the beginning. There is an opportunity now, with the new Minister of State in place, to engage politically and for that to drive the technical engagement.
