Finally, I will turn to decision-making.

The biggest problem we have as public representatives is getting a decision from somebody in the HSE, the county council, the Civil Service or elsewhere. These people may not be around on a particular day and if we ring back, we get somebody else. Getting somebody to make a decision is impossible in many cases. What is being done about this or streamlining processes?
