Ms Mary Hurley:

Absolutely. We have put in place arrangements now with Ms Fiona Quinn, head of the local government division in the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage. We have met her already in regard to activities concerning the local government sector. I know significant reform is being done there. We will certainly engage with her on this local issue. On the LCDCs, that is a really useful vehicle in terms of coherence at local authority and community level because there are representatives from all sectors, including elected members and members of the community sector. There is great visibility there in terms of projects. There is still work to be done in the LCDC space but they have brought a lot of this together. We will certainly follow up with the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage on that.
