Mr. Philip Nugent:

Yes, we are satisfied with the level of data that is available at the moment and with the work that IFI has done in recent years, which Dr. Gallagher has just outlined. There is always room for improvement, particularly in an area where an environmental body is working because it is difficult to put a monetary value on the work they do. We are trying to ensure that we have extremely up-to-date and meaningful data to measure performance and that is outlined in the performance delivery agreement. It is a constant process of improvement.
