I do hope that between the Department of Justice and Equality and the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government that there is a tie-up. Also, as the Minister of State has said, there is the Department of Health in terms of the HSE, the educational training boards, ETBs, and the Department of Education and Skills. This is not just about local government. This is about the ETB, health, transport and a whole plethora of other services and agencies that we must get right. I am sorry if the House thinks I have laboured the point but it is important. Members, whether they represent Donegal, Monaghan, Carlow or wherever, would be equally as passionate and as committed to their own area as I am to my city and county.
