I thank the Senator. It strikes me that may be an opportunity. I am aware of the Bill she introduced and there may be an opportunity to incorporate into that the amendments needed to progress this matter. Perhaps she will take that up with the Tánaiste's office to discuss scheduling. As we know, the Tánaiste is the custodian and guardian of the Curragh lands pursuant to the Curragh of Kildare Act 1961. He is fully committed to a modern and sustainable regulatory model to manage that historically important domain.

I reiterate in closing that the immediate focus is on finalising the Curragh consultancy report for clarity on long-term solutions while simultaneously working on those legal avenues with the Office of the Chief State Solicitor for short-term remedies, because it is not acceptable to allow this to continue.
