It is 80 in total, of which 21 are in north Dublin. Why have there been such different rates of progress in the reconfiguration around the country? Have there been particular problems? It is stated the plans of the local implementation group are already well developed and are being consolidated in the mid-west, Meath and some parts of Cork. Deputy Daly pointed out that the services are working very well in some parts of Cork. I look forward to similar circumstances in north Dublin. In some areas, staff are just finishing the consultation. This is not only in north Dublin, but also in Dublin's north inner city and in south, south east, south west and south central Dublin. The same applies in Donegal and Roscommon. Do particular local issues arise? Are there difficulties getting people to the table and reaching an agreement? Why are some places already delivering services while others are still at the talking phase?
