Mr. Paul Hogan:

That is the trade-off that people are forced to make by the way we have arranged things. It is possible for people to move for work but if opportunities for work can be more spread out on a distributed basis or focused on different places, people will have wider opportunity.

On infrastructure and transport being a derived demand, so that where one has the critical mass, demand is there, in an integrated regional development context one can disrupt that. For instance, one thing I looked at today was a submission from the Shannon Development Company. It argued that in the context of integrated regional development Shannon as an airport made a difference to the mid-west region. This was particularly the case historically, it is less so now. It was making a case for that sort of development. By focusing infrastructure it is possible. The combination of things such as human capital, spreading employment opportunities and infrastructural investment are what is critical. It is not one thing.
