I thank the Minister of State to taking this matter as I know she was under a time constraint in getting to the House. I am pleased, in the main, with the response. Now that we have established a review is going ahead, I ask her to follow up on the terms of reference and the timescale for the outcome of the review as well as the invitation to the spokespersons on local government in both Houses to attend those meetings and to make submissions to the review.This is a fairly standard request at any level in a review of this type in order to achieve the maximum from the review and the best outcome. If the Minister of State can give a commitment that we can do that before we finish, I would even give Kilkenny three points of a lead in the all-Ireland next year against Tipperary.
