If I could come in on that point, on which Deputy Farrell would probably be thinking along the same lines, Mr. Gannon has just touched on the global opportunity and referred earlier to the trilemma and the balancing remits of the regulator. Is this a fourth leg? It is not an official remit of the regulator to drive that, but it is an opportunity that Ireland has. If it is not the regulator's remit, although Mr. Gannon has recognised it as something that Ireland should pursue, is that a danger? Does something need to happen to give the commission a statutory responsibility to pursue the global opportunity that is there for Ireland?
