I am concluding, and will call Deputy MacSharry. Essentially, Mr. Leahy has stated that he has a broad range of priorities, the reopening of the Garda stations is based on the criteria, and this was a pilot project. If it had been his task to look at his broader range of responsibilities, this issue would not have been top of his list, but Stepaside met the criteria he was working to, notwithstanding the much broader issues he has to deal with. I wanted to crystallise it because we did not get to that at the earlier meeting.
