Dr. Ciar?n Seoighe:

I thank the Deputy for his comments, which are very much appreciated. I echo much of what the Deputy said. We want to get the report out there further. We promoted it among the academic community because it is an opportunity for them to look at what the public are really concerned with. As somebody who personally attended a number of the roadshows in several different counties, the engagement and dialogue were fantastic. Often members of the public were surprised that they were being asked directly for their opinion. That really shocked people and was seen as a breath of fresh air. They appreciated the opportunity to share their views and thoughts. We had submissions from every part of the country including one from the International Space Station, which we are very proud of. We went out of this world with the campaign.
