I think that is in train at the moment. There was a €55 million increase in investment in the NPWS. Obviously the service has to build around the funding that goes to it as well. Otherwise, it is destined to fail, even if it has the money. I agree with Mr. Goodwin that An Bord Pleanála and other agencies need further investment. They have been neglected for many years and we are seeing the result of that now.
