The Deputy's first question is whether there has been an analysis of the public consultation to date, which she believes was poorly attended as a result of it being carried out during the pandemic. I will seek an answer from the Minister of State, Deputy O'Donovan, for her about that. The other question is whether there will be further consultations and whether those consultations will be held face-to-face rather than online. I know there will be further consultations as part of the process. Some of those are statutory and others are non-statutory in nature. All the legal and required procedures will, of course, be carried out. I will come back to the Deputy with a detailed response on when the next round of consultation will be held and what form it will be.
