I would probably be more comfortable with the State doing this. For all the concern I might have about this, I would have more concerns about the private sector because it obviously has an ulterior motive. The private sector makes money and it makes its decisions and does what it does in order to maximise earnings. That would be the driving force for the private sector if it were to get involved in this area. Does Mr. Kelleher not think it absolutely imperative that the State takes on this role?
