Let us look at County Mayo, which I represent. Currently we have 9.1% at pre-order stage of the plan. Some 61% of premises have yet to be surveyed or even completed. I would like to get an understanding of how each area can be monitored, reviewed and assessed. That would give us better visibility on how we actually do things. To date, less than 10% is at pre-order stage in Mayo. I am trying to see how this will be ramped up over the next five years.
