With the permission of the Chair, I will refine the question. Obviously, relationships with other bodies can be improved all the time. However, the architecture was put in place such that, in any one area, all the programmes that the State might devolve to a community organisation to develop, that is Tús, RSS, rural transport, the social inclusion and community activation programme, SICAP, Leader and so on could be delivered by a single company. This means that the company could take a holistic view on a wide range of actions required on behalf of the community. What is actually happening is that two companies in the same geographic area are delivering different programmes. Which is the better, the initial arrangement or the current one?
