I would like to clarify the point regarding the cross-border issue. We have only one border. We all have to be parochial in terms of wanting to see investment in this country. Other countries like Germany and France have multiple borders with partners. If they are submitting road or rail projects that cross over all of these countries, obviously they have a better opportunity than Ireland to secure funding. That is the point I was making about borders. Would that be a fair point? Would it be a fair assessment? That was the concern with T-Trans in the past.
