I appreciate that. Fundamentally, a support is not a support unless it is a workable support and unless it can be drawn down. There are fundamental difficulties here.

I am conscious of time but I wish to raise one further issue. Chambers Ireland and others are seeking a national strategy that prioritises sustainable town centres. That is everything from transport to housing to, obviously, business as well. Would the witnesses subscribe to such a task force? Specifically, our towns and villages must be supported, particularly from the point of view of ISME. They are the heartbeat of our counties. What specifically would the witnesses like to see included in measures of this nature?
