I have an observation and a question. I really like and affirm the holistic approach the IFA is presenting to us in terms of the issue of rural crime, identifying some of the legislative concerns, the issue of broadband, the ways in which various kinds of partnership are being formed, CCTV installation and so on. It is great to hear that kind of leadership. So much of it is about prevention. Could the witnesses tell us specifically a little more about the rural crime prevention executive, and more generally is it getting enough Government support for that prevention approach? We have spoken a little about the resource issue. Is it about more resources? Surely it is also about new ways of working with the resources the organisation has. Is it about a bit of both?
