I do not see what the question has to do with the amendment concerned. However, in terms of co-operation, obviously the purpose of the legislation will be to ensure there is a level of co-operation between business and the local authorities that has never been seen in Ireland before. This was discussed in great detail on Second Stage. We have seen instances in other jurisdictions where BID legislation has been extremely successful in terms of enhancing business involvement.
