Okay. What is interesting from Ms Moran's evidence is that she mentioned the regional health forum. That was leading to my next question so she has answered that already. Decision-makers locally and regionally attend the health forum. I used to be a member of the health forum and I think the Cathaoirleach may have been too in his previous capacity. Certainly, however, it is very good for issues like this because we are talking about the clinical leads within that area. While I appreciate that the public cannot attend the meetings, it is great to have that support of which Ms Moran spoke, particularly with the backing of Clare County Council. Has it gone to any other council chamber in that area or in the Limerick region?
