I do not want to stop Mr. Lawlor's flow but the Department would tell us that there has been significant engagement with the planning advisory forum and so on. I have no doubt that much time was spent on that but many sectors have come into us, including local government, with the IPI now saying something similar, to say that engagement was of limited value in understanding the logic behind the Bill, its rationale and contents.
