-----for their presentation, which was very interesting and comprehensive . Their answers to the questions have clarified many questions I had intended to pose.

From a broader general perspective, I am interested in the Carlow-Kilkenny model. There is much to recommend it.Vis-à-vis the rural-urban divide and in general terms, would our guests foresee see any difficulty in facilitating that model in an urban environment as opposed to in a rural one? I know the eye cannot behold itself but, from a reflective perspective, do they envisage any particular difficulties in an urban environment that they would not see, for example, in Carlow-Kilkenny and, if so, how could we address those? That will be important in terms of, as was mentioned, rolling out the model nationwide. Those are my general points.
