Allow me to put my questions in perspective. I am from Galway city and I welcome the national development plan and its contents pertaining to Galway to a certain degree. It is very good in terms of the language used, to which we will return. It refers to developing and implementing a comprehensive and strategic metropolitan area spatial plan to enable transformation, sustainability so on. I welcome all of that lovely language. Language is very important. We are here to discuss governance. For me, this is about governance and making sure proper procedures are in place to ensure value for public money. Does Mr. Watt agree?
