There is a lot of food for thought in Mr. O'Brien's presentation. We may get to tease out some of the issues - the whys and wherefores - in the discussion we are about to have. A number of rural partnerships, including those in Meath, Monaghan, Kildare and Fingal, were invited to attend this meeting but they were unable to do so. That is a pity for all of us. We have asked all of them to suggest dates that might be suitable for them to attend. I will open the floor to questions. Tá deich nóiméad ag an Teachta Ó Cuív le haghaidh a chuid ceisteanna agus na freagraí ar na ceisteanna sin.
