Nobody is washing their hands of it. The Deputies may not want to take local responsibility or may think there should not be local responsibility, but it is my view the members of the Cavan and Monaghan ETB should be aware of this. It is their duty to be aware of what is happening in the organisation for which they have a corporate governance remit and oversight. Whether or not there was a changeover following the local elections, there is a continuum. It is their responsibility and they should reflect on that.

In respect of Deputy Carthy's question, I do not know in the here and now but we will find out whether Cavan and Monaghan ETB made an application. I just do not have that information to hand.
