Ms Carol Coad:

Each agency picks two things it will showcase to the others. The output of the project will be a best practice case study guide. Mr. Byrne's preventative maintenance software is something that can be used worldwide. The eco-toilet issue is the biggest thing thrown at us every time from the public, namely, why there are no toilets in the car parks. LEADER was another way for us to garner funding. We had applied to the ORIS, for funding for the preventative maintenance software and did not achieve it. It is something Mr. Byrne knew we needed and something he has the technical know-how to do, so we decided to find the money somewhere else. That is something we have done quite well in Wicklow. We know what we want to achieve and we have a joint decision on where we want to get to, so we go and find the money to make it happen. It does not matter if it always comes through ORIS. Sometimes we go cap-in-hand to the local authority and say we need another, perhaps, €20,000 to get a project over the line. At this point we have proven our ability to deliver a really quality product. It tends to trust us. We do not find it too difficult to find the funding.
