I am also interested in the timeline for the national implementation office and, in particular, when regeneration officers will be appointed at local authority level. We have spoken previously about necessary works at the Creative Spark Downtown Hub in Dundalk, the remote working hub that is up and running now and is a real success in what was a vacant site. We have a lot more to do and it is important that a town the size of Dundalk has sufficient resources to enable it to increase footfall in the town by enabling people to live in the town centre. Compulsory purchase orders and some of the other issues raised by Deputies tonight must be tackled.
