The implementation advisory group, IAG, report provided a significant benefit to the process. It was detailed. I know the Deputy has issues with some of it but generally it brought a huge degree of information. We adopted many of its proposals. It is not just about speed; it is about putting something in place that works and is correct. There is nothing to stop a Minister bringing it through in less than two years but he or she should be given latitude. If a Minister was minded to go away and just do a report without involving all stakeholders in Limerick or wherever, many politicians across the spectrum would be critical of that. It is the process. Based on our experience in Limerick to date, the IAG report brought huge added value to the process.
