The consultation period will have finished by the time we meet the officials again. It will probably be the third week of September. I am not sure of the dates yet. We will invite the Minister to attend that meeting as well. What is the timeline for the Department to weave the comments from the public consultation into the framework, where necessary, and publish? Am I right that the draft is approved by the Houses of the Oireachtas? It is the final draft. That will include any amendments from the consultation. Will Mr. Hogan hazard a guess at a date on that?
