I thank Mr. McDowell and Mr. Murphy for being here today. Mr. McDowell has just answered many of the questions about public private partnerships that have been floating around. Mr. McDowell mentioned in his opening remarks that following the review of the capital programme, the European Investment Bank will be meeting the Government. Would it not be in the Government's interests and in the interests of the capital programme for the EIB to meet Government before the review is finalised so that its input into projects, finance-wise, would be clear before the review is published?
