We are taking all of that on board and I have no doubt that there have been improvements. However, given that Mr. O'Brien has identified bulk buying as a major factor and the fact that Ireland is too small in that context, could we not nominate the Northern Ireland or UK authorities to conduct it on our behalf, even if there are different regulations operating here? Is it not possible to bypass things to get the authorities to state we are all in the European Union?
