It is great that we have consultants whom we can pay to do a lot of things but there needs to be deeper understanding within the LEOs on why it is important and the targets. I do not feel this is there. I cannot judge all of them but before I had the budget meeting with the Taoiseach when he was the Minister I did a lot of research on this. The LEOs admitted they did not have the expertise and they did not want to be relying on consultants. I am sure the consultants could give some workshops to the LEOs themselves instead of pawning it all off. It is difficult for them if it they do not understand what is needed to get the right consultant.
