I thank the Minister of State for his response. I would point to two words beginning with A, "analysis" rather than "advocacy". A great number of the project appraisals I have looked at have been prepared by the promoters. I am glad the Minister of State has put in that extra layer. They may be good, but let us not give them a free run at the Exchequer. Just because somebody in a spending agency would like to spend more does not necessarily mean it is always good to do so. I thank the Minister for his reply. I will not move the remainder of those amendments. The discussion we have had has been useful in the context in which this development is taking place.
