I thank the Minister of State for her sustained and consistent commitment to this work. Since she was appointed as a junior Minister she has given this sustained focus. It also speaks positively for the Government's priorities that she has done so.

In terms of the answer itself, it is very positive. I would be glad to report that back to FAST.

I would appreciate if the Minister of State might be able to follow-up in the future with a few practicalities in relation to the recruitment dates and when this service will be on-stream. That would be helpful and beneficial.

Specifically on FAST, the reply addresses my question. Also in the broader sense we can see a lot of the work the Minister of State and the Department are doing and that they are working with different agencies to achieve. I am grateful for that.

I very much welcome the answer and I thank the Minister of State.
