Ms Mary Hurley:
The Deputy is absolutely right. It is about coherence. It is about people working together. It is about understanding what the issues are. It is not all about money. In fact, sometimes when there is too much money going in, the scattergun approach can be quite dangerous. It is that piece of bringing it all together. We work very closely with the Department of the Taoiseach and I can promise the Deputy that we will continue that.
