That is fair. We will keep talking until the Chair stops me.

I will turn now to the Rivers Trust. I am a director of the East Wicklow Rivers Trust, which is working on a remediation project in Ballinglen with IFI, Wicklow County Council and the local authority waters programme, LAWPRO. The issue of partnership is important because this is about getting and using the resources that are available.

My question is for Mr. Horton and Mr. Murphy, the latter of whom is with the Slaney River Trust. I can see from my rivers trust how difficult it is to maximise our work with the funding we have. Incredible expertise is available to us, including that of Professor Whelan, who is on the trust with us, but it is difficult to find funding for project managers and so on. Is having the funding capacity to do all the work trusts want to do an issue across the country, including Wexford?
