I understand that.

I have one other question. With regard to Tourism Ireland, which is an intriguing organisation, Ireland has been the only country in the world in which, a number of years ago, two national tourism bodies came together in a room to create one but ended up with three. At some point in the future we might examine the funding of Tourism Ireland and the ratio of funding. Does the funding of the actual activities of Tourism Ireland represent value for money from a taxpayer's point of view when the outputs are taken into account? In other words, is the output for the South under Tourism Ireland proportional to that in Northern Ireland? What is the ratio of what goes in to the output? Obtaining this data would be a very interesting exercise.
