On the public buy-in, I do not know whether it was the NTA or the Department that produced a video I think earlier in the year or last year which I thought was excellent. It focused on just how useful and beneficial this infrastructure is for people with mobility challenges. I tend to agree, but maybe we can do more to really illustrate just how important this is for all of us, including for people we know who have these challenges. Mr. Cregan is right that often when these projects are proposed they are seen as fundamentally negative, but we know that when they are delivered they are seen as fundamentally positive. It is a matter of getting to that point. Maybe it is a matter of building on the work that has been done before in developing a campaign around communicating the benefits for the vulnerable population we are here to talk about today.
