Olwyn Enright (Laois-Offaly, Fine Gael)

That is not really what I want a commitment on. The National Carers Association will make a submission but it wants a guarantee there will be feedback on that submission and that it is not just taken on board and the document published. If the Minister's Department has difficulties with anything in the submission the association hopes there will be discussion about it rather than an item being either ruled in or out and the document published. The association wants real and active engagement and consultation. I ask the Minister to give a commitment that this is what will happen.
