I am aware of a number of companies that would be far more comfortable under this model but they will probably need to be informed and educated about the transition, the possibility and the advantages when it comes about. That brings me to another question, which perhaps is related to what Deputy O'Reilly was speaking about. Who will be responsible for informing the public and promoting the idea of co-operatives and their advantages at all levels in order that companies that are now companies and can convert and people who wish to establish other entities can do so and be assisted in doing so?
