Exactly, you could have a Cork accent. I took time to read the opening statements. I apologise for missing the initial opening statements. It was unavoidable but I did read them. I apologise if I am asking questions that have already been asked.

Certainly, it strikes me, as a project and idea, as something we can really get behind. It is our job to dig deep and find out if there are any potential negatives or issues. Listening to Ms Carty on the inclusivity piece and how advantageous that can be, it is hard to find any. One question we have to ask and which may have already been asked is whether the witnesses believe it is ethical for private investors essentially to be able to make a return and make money from socially disadvantaged areas or from people who find themselves in disadvantaged positions?
