Senator Mansergh stated that there is a touch of Dublin 4 about the ESRI, which I accept shows itself in some of the prejudices with which we are familiar, such as the anti-rail bias, the support for water charges and the commercialisation of the waste water infrastructure and so on. From an economic point of view, I understand why the ESRI makes such recommendations. However, from a political point of view, I understand why the Government does not touch them and that if the Labour Party was in power, it would not do so either. We must accept and expect that the ESRI will state such things. However, the economic benefit would be outweighed by the political disadvantages and no one will deliver on them.
