It is movement. To be honest, and I am sure the Deputy has read the report, many of those are not simply a matter of clicking one's fingers and it is done. Processes have to be put in place to enable the implementation of many of those elements. There is a lot of comparison with the Scottish model and while there are some similarities, there are also some very stark differences between Ireland and Scotland.
It is a bit unfair for people to keep saying that it was done in Scotland in a year and a half but that we are not doing anything here.
