I have a question for Mr. Reynolds on the streamlined process. The contrast between the costs in Ireland and the UK is very stark, not just in respect of time and bureaucracy but in actual fees. Will he elaborate on why the costs are so high here? Is it just because they are all separate processes? What is involved in those costs compared to the UK? Why is Mr. Reynolds so confident that those costs can be brought down to a UK level? What is his thinking on that?
