On another issue, we had the Secretary General of the Minister's Department here last week and, with regard to the waste and bureaucracy that arises in the HSE, I asked whether any comparative analysis had been done with our European counterparts as regards productivity. The Minister mentioned other European countries' delivery of projects and need to fulfil regulations. Has the Minister's Department done any comparative analysis as to the productivity of planning departments within local authorities in Ireland as compared with other European countries? Will he give this committee any information as to the comparative productivity of planning systems in the delivery of public projects?
