Every time I meet the Taoiseach I will ask him. To finish on that, he is right about the conversations that have been happened but in his position, as Taoiseach in charge of the Government, he has a responsibility to provide the framework for it. That is coming back from all the academics who have written papers on this, as well as the economists and everybody else the committee engaged with. There is a big summit with the All-Island Cancer Research Institute involving America in the coming days. There is so much work being done. We need leadership on this from the Government and I am hoping the Taoiseach will provide that leadership.
