I will make inquiries on that report. I go back to my point about the good working relationship that we have with the OPW in relation to built heritage sites in its care. We are also working on a proposal for a voluntary continuous professional development scheme to equip private and public contractors with practical skills, knowledge and awareness of ecology and environmental law, as well as best practice in terms of risk management. This is something that is ongoing in our Department and we are working specifically on that. As the Senator rightly said, we are in the depths of a biodiversity crisis and it is something we need to work collectively and collaboratively on. I will get back to her on that.
