Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

We have started laying the foundations for completing a public consultation and we held the first stakeholder forum meeting in December last year. These important steps are helping to create a viable pathway forward to create a second plan, which I accept is necessary. The last plan is now out of date. While there is still a lot of good stuff in it we do need to update that plan. We need a second plan and I hope to be able to publish a second plan later this year.
