I will not be too long. Perhaps Mr. Walsh is better off answering my question, which is a continuation of the conversation with Deputy Hourigan and adds to it. Maybe there is nothing in it, but Mr. Walsh has emphasised a couple of times that there was funding there for the company. It is just an odd phrase to use because usually one would say the funding is there for the task force. I wonder whether there is a reason Mr. Walsh has used the word "company" a few times. Has there been a separation in terms of how the HSE is engaging with the north inner city? Has he said "company" because the HSE is engaging with it in an administrative kind of way, rather than with the north inner city task force as a structure, with its members and chair? What is the differentiation, if there is one? Maybe I have picked it up wrong.
