I take the Chairman's point. It is really more for an overall perspective. In terms of being able to look at performance indicators, an overall picture does not hurt. In terms of the OPW's performance issues, Ms McGrath said there had been a culture of greater collaboration. She referred to being able to use local authority offices for the delivery of services. She mentioned the Intreo offices. I am aware myself that local authorities have made rooms available to other State or semi-state bodies. Is it easy to have an indicator that appropriately measures co-operation in reality and a willingness in one agency to move into the offices of another? Has there been a certain dragging of feet in that regard?
