The Deputy makes a fair point that somebody would come in, inherit a plan and be told to go off and do it. That is not the idea. We will have a draft implementation plan. Ultimately, the lead executive will have the job of finalising the plan. The plan can be scrutinised here and it will go to Cabinet but I have been charged by the Government, and by the Taoiseach specifically, to bring forward a draft implementation plan by the end of the year. That is what I am duty bound to do. I will share it with the committee. The dates of when it can go to Cabinet are above my pay grade. I cannot be overly prescriptive but the commitment I and the Taoiseach have given is that it will be by the end of the year and that will be honoured.
