Even that is a learning in itself. Most people see the tension between the Departments as having been a healthy tension. It is good to see that as part of a process. If that was lacking in respect of the national children's hospital or, worse, if it was the case that the Department of Health was trying to make contact with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and not hearing back, it would show up a failure in itself. It is interesting. I do not believe we asked for that level of documentation. Because we now have the correspondence regarding the broadband plan, we should seek whatever correspondence was had in this regard.
