I apologise as I have to go to a meeting someone else promised me access to. On what Mr. McGeady said earlier about the sustainable development goals, they are a tool for two things, namely, grading and framing policy. He put it better than I would have about the scenario we are in at the minute. For all the wealth we have, there is a huge issue with inequality. It is also about delivering a system that is fair and sustainable. That is a new social contract, as Mr. McGeady said, but with a lot more within it.

Outside of the proposal to put these under the Department of the Taoiseach - I get the logic with that and giving it primacy - how do we get all that in place? In the Department of the Taoiseach at the minute, there is the disability unit, there is the specific piece around child poverty and all that.
