Okay. I have a couple of other suggestions. If we have the South Dublin and Dublin city managers in today, we could also invite a couple of other managers and heads of housing from other local authorities. Limerick City Council would be interesting because they piloted HAP first, so it would be good to hear from the head of housing there. We could also include some of the rural counties which have particular homelessness problems. It would therefore be useful to invite two, three or four managers from other local authorities, in addition to the ones we have today, as well as somebody from the Department. If we are asking managers about the delay in drawing down funding, for example, it would be useful to have a departmental representative - it could be the relevant principal officer - in the same room at the same time to give his or her view on it.
