I do not observe it for the scale of funding that has gone into it. I drive through both sides of Belfast and I do not see the development that I would expect. What Mr. McCord said about well-paid community positions rings true with what I have heard from other political sources. I do not see the development of the on the ground facilities for people, particularly in working class areas, that I would expect to see. In my own constituency, in working class areas, where funding has been provided, I see a commensurate development in facilities, particularly for children and young people. While all of that is important, it has been addressed in part by Mr. McCord. I particularly want to ask him about the Good Friday Agreement and how he feels he has not delivered for victims.
