A number of issues have repeatedly arisen at meetings of this committee over the past number of years. I refer, for example, to overcrowding and a lack of capacity in the south west, particularly Limerick. Does Mr. Gloster have in mind a short-term plan that will deal with the situation in a way which will ensure that it will not have to be dealt with again next year or the year after? I ask that because I believe that the cause of many of our problems is that we leave situations half resolved. I wish to say, without reflecting on anybody, that half doing the job does not solve the problem.

We need to bring matters to a conclusion. Does Mr. Gloster have a plan in that regard?
