It is very helpful. I thank Mr. Boland. A big part of his answer concerned the bottom-up approach and I agree on that. Is there more we can do? The system we have had for a long time was reformed in the past ten years with PPNs and so on, for very good reasons. Is it equipped well enough? Do we have to engage more in the bottom-up approach and talk to more people to get them on board and help them understand why these changes are important and necessary and how they can be beneficial? We could then pre-empt the stage where councillors feel they need to take sides. The battle is lost if we get to that point. Is there more we can do on the bottom-up approach?
