My time is up, but my final question relates to the EU. The OPW reported to the Commission at various stages. What was the Commission's response? What is our exposure to penalties for non-compliance with the directive? I am hot under the collar about public consultation. In Galway, it was conducted in various hotels. Why was that not done in public buildings, for example, the town hall or city council? It would have been cheaper and shown that the process belonged to everyone. I attended one of the consultations, but very few people were there.
