That is what I just did. That is fine.
In terms of process trumping delivery, and we know there was the one-stage process and the four-stage process, I put it to the Secretary General that the sum of the parts within the Department do not add up to the overall mission. Let us use Sligo as an example. On the one hand, it does not have the money to have appropriate staff to meet the technical process that is being demanded by the four-stage, or indeed the one-stage, process to get planning for a scheme. Would he agree with that?
