The background to this is that we are not providing a legal framework for the service level agreement. This is technical legislation which moves the functions previously located in the country enterprise boards to Enterprise Ireland and allows them to enter into arrangements. We should not set out a legal obligation in this sphere. I accept, however, that we should re-examine the service level agreements every three years. I will be pleased to make this a policy expectation and report back in three years to make an arrangement that we will have a three-year review. That is a reasonable expectation on the part of the Deputy.
