I thank Mr. Reid. It is one of those things that we will just have to get to grips with. Not enough money is coming from the Government to employ people to achieve the goal. I accept the comment Mr. Reid made that it is wider than just pay. That is something that we as political representatives have to take very seriously. As an advocate of workers' rights, a fair day's pay for a fair day's work is something that is very important, and perhaps we are just not getting to grips with that.

The forestry dashboard is a hard accountability system, but it is very accessible to the public. The reality is that not all members of the public read reports. Some will read a report but not everyone is going to read it. Such a dashboard is hard accountability based on numbers and figures and something like that would be very useful for members of the public to see where Sláintecare is going because we talk a lot about it and give a lot of time to it. They are all my questions.
