I have one more question. The witnesses have dealt with the issue of management companies and the CPO powers. In its design, the LDA has to operate according to what has been ordained by the Oireachtas and the Government. At the start, a lot of people thought the agency would just be a land development agency to ready land for development. Mr. Coleman said in the past few minutes that the LDA is the only State agency that builds directly. The local authorities are separate units of government. I am not saying the Land Development Agency is not successful but might it be more successful if it were just a land development agency. How would that sit with it?
