May I follow on from Senator Ardagh's appropriate proposal to make the plan available in a Garda station? The plan should also be made available in libraries throughout the State because people could study it there. While we are living in a digital age, the number of people who could access the plan on a website, in the knowledge it is available, is relatively limited. People will need to know the plan will also be available to them in printed form. This is where the Garda stations and libraries, and perhaps council buildings, could offer a service. Making sure the plan is available is the issue. Never was there so much information available, yet people do not seem to be as well-informed as we would hope. Having the plan in as many public locations as possible, not just in cyberspace, would be appropriate. I acknowledge the plan will be available through the Houses of the Oireachtas, which I accept, but will it be in our library in digital format only?
