The short answer is that I do not know the answer to that question but I will get it for the Deputy. Limerick also saw an amalgamation. I was not a member of the local authority but that work was carried out in a spirit of partnership with local authority members and management. It was obviously an operational matter as well. I will put this another way. If we are bringing in legislation about a plan-led process and there is a development plan that is to be commenced very close to that new legislation coming into play, it makes sense to bring that plan in under the new legislation rather than the old. The time period is very short.
