I will stop the witness there because I have heard that. I have heard Mr. McKeon say that and I do not want it repeated as a stock answer. I know that the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection has a view. I am guided by what Údarás na Gaeltachta has told us publically, by our experience on the ground and by the advice of the co-operative movement, which visited the Dáil recently and told us about the serious difficulties that they are experiencing. I am asking Mr. McKeon whether his Department carried out a review. The witness is quite familiar with the fact that those organisations are unhappy with the situation.
