As far as I know, the NTA is engaging with every possible stakeholder. All I can say is that I have had absolutely no negative reaction from any stakeholders saying they are not being engaged with. It is quite obvious that the unions are being engaged with because I have already paid tribute to the fact that they have been highly co-operative in what they have been doing. They have been making sacrifices and pulling in the same direction.

I have not engaged personally with Dermot O'Leary, if that is what the Deputy is asking, but I would be perfectly happy to do so if he wants.
