I know the issue of spatial planning was touched on previously. Have any of the State agencies discussed the development of the next spatial plan with the West Cork Development Partnership? The answer to that is "No". The Western Development Commission is another layer of development and based on my understanding, is quite a successful one. It is only in one section of the country. Could the witnesses tell us about how Leader partnerships interact with the Western Development Commission? Would it be logical to have a south-western development commission or a Border development commission? Alternatively, if we go down that road, would we just be replicating what is already there?
