Seán Sherlock: Can Mr. Sharpe stay with that a second because we are getting into the weeds of it now which is where we want to go. We have plenty of time and I will let Ms Kearney in again, there is no problem. Can Mr. Sharpe unpick what he said a little? He talks about that gap. Can he give it to me warts and all?

Seán Sherlock: It is not just in Dublin; it is everywhere. I am from Cork and we have the same challenges there that exist here. It is the same thing.
