Mr. Shane Conneely:

There is a conflict between what would work and what will be politically possible. This is a considerable tension. We see it with some policies where they might go on the backburner for several years and then, all of a sudden, they are reintroduced into the conversation. It turns out the plan is to deliver them within 12 months. We would have to talk to our members and flag to them and warn them that X is due to arrive in January of whenever. Then it does not, and that is because other hindrances are involved and the Ministers in question are not in a position to say that it is going to take two or three years because that would delay the process even further. A great deal of work probably needs to be done at a political level to be able to construct a process which can deliver policies within the timeframe it has been said they can be delivered. We would love if this were to happen. I think the three-year window is a reasonable one. When businesses are looking at making investments, they look at windows of three to five years.
