Dr. Mark Mellett:

Ultimately, these are policy decisions. While MARA will not be shy about its ambition, our priority is to get the ship moving in terms of our current competencies. The Cathaoirleach is absolutely right. In fact, the Act encourages that. Where we reach a point where we can start offering advice that might inform the formulation of policy, we will do that. I agree with the Cathaoirleach that a Rolls-Royce model would be an integrated system that would have all the elements in one clearing house. That would allow us to overcome the dangers posed by silos and activities or issues falling in between.
