In terms of my second question, would that be possible? I have met members of the Commission before and discussed redefining a region which would include the six counties of Donegal, Sligo, Leitrim, Derry, Fermanagh and Tyrone, which is the most deprived area on the island of Ireland. The Commission was open to that idea about three or four years ago but said it would be a lengthy process. Is this possible and is it something Mr. Deane thinks we should pursue?
