I accept that the living city initiative covers a small area, but the reality is we could introduce such a measure. We have in the past introduced specific geographical schemes for cities and parts thereof, but when Google leaves rural Ireland, we can come up with reasons we cannot introduce such a measure. The point I am making is we need to find some way to stimulate private sector investment in the region. I will leave it at that because we are only going around in circles.
