Deputy Barry would love to see it. Ever since I have come to the committee, he has been painting disaster. Whether the wish is the father of the thought, or the thought is the father of the wish, I do not know, but that is what he wants to see. What we are trying to do is avoid exactly that situation which Deputy Barry is painting. There are people working night and day to avoid that. That is not a situation which we wish to see and it is not one we envisage happening. We are working to ensure as far as we possibly can that the two sides come together and that that does not happen.
