On cost effectiveness, we have a serious traffic problem in Galway. The policy of the Department and those of other parts of Government are drawing more and more people isteach go dtí an cathair. That is not sustainable. When looking at costs, the Department might look at the costs which are not factored in such as extra traffic on the road, serious congestion, climate change implications and so on, not to mention the language issue. Will Mr. McKeon come back to me with a letter setting out what services the Department provides in Irish?
