It is hoped that in this way it will be in a position to frame proposals in the Irish situation drawing on such best practice models. Accordingly, the Commission is inviting submissions from interested parties towards the undertaking and completion of four separate pieces of research. Submissions involving some international collaboration will be welcomed.
