It will be relevant in a second, if the Chair allows me to finish. I would like the Minister of State to ask the Minister, Deputy Hogan, to extend the amount of time that is being provided for this.

We talk about consultation and inclusiveness. Most councillors have not yet seen the questionnaire but they are being asked to return it by tomorrow week. I take this opportunity to ask the Minister of State to deal with the matter urgently and to ask the Minister to extend the date to at least 22 June. It is archaic in this day and age to send out a document to each county manager to be sent on to elected representatives. Why could it not be sent directly to each elected representative? I ask the Minister of State for a direct response on this and I thank the Cathaoirleach for allowing me contribute.
