Mr. James Doyle:

With regard to the rural commission, I am glad to report we have already met Pat Spillane in Kerry and we had a very constructive conversation with him. We have been very positive in our approach towards it and we have a nine-point plan. Mr. O'Sullivan will outline our rural forum proposal. Earlier this year, we presented our booklet, The Rural Challenge, to Deputies and Senators and it is also available on our website theruralchallenge.com. It contains a 12-point plan and perhaps it answers some of the questions that have been asked.
