Mr. Ian Talbot:

I will answer the Deputy's second question first. It absolutely is that sort of idea. One of the big things we try to do with local government - it is possible we need to do more with the ETBs - is to try to share that local knowledge. The Deputy will be aware of the work we do with local government around the country trying to get good ideas that are happening in one county evolved into other areas. Where good things are happening, we need to evolve those ideas, share them and make sure they are successful in multiple areas. A lot of that is about networking, people talking to each other and getting and promoting these good ideas. Some of it comes down to having the money available to do it. We constantly come back to the money.

On the Northern Ireland-GB question, we have not looked at the issue. I do not know whether IBEC has.
