My apologies for that. I do not mean to in any way question Mr. Mulvey's credentials. I am just saying that the Department and the Government's approach here is not commensurate with what we have heard from other international experience. The best examples of just transition in other countries involve a whole infrastructure helping in this process. Mr. Mulvey has been given an almost impossible task. Regarding the idea that there is a concern about the movement of all economic activity to Dublin, which is true, and Mr. Mulvey's role in addressing that and using this opportunity to redress the whole economic development of the midlands, which is what we need to do, I do not think it can be done under the terms of reference and structures and support systems Mr. Mulvey has been given.
