That is fine. I thank Mr. Nugent. In terms of the reorganisation that is occurring, there will be little or no change in Dublin. In Dublin city we have two divisions, the Dublin metropolitan region, DMR, south central and north central. Has consideration been given to enhanced co-ordination between the two? Both divisions obviously have a serious amount of work to do, but when one thinks about it, the Liffey separates two strategic areas. Was any consideration given to combining the two divisions? I know that is different from some of the requests that have come from other areas in terms of concerns about mergers. Looking at the broader Dublin region, it can be seen that there are two separate structures within the city centre. Was that given any consideration?
