Okay. So, you're having the conversation at the moment. I don't want to press you too hard on that, because I recognise that live conversations are taking place and it would be difficult for you to describe in detail what those conversations are—I accept…

I very much endorse that. I think it's a very strong rationale for what we're looking at. In previous answers, I think you mentioned that BIPA might be looking at expanding its work from four committees to six, I think you said. I was just wondering which…

I'm very interested by that, Karen. The visit that this committee undertook to Dublin last week was to look at how we can deepen and strengthen links between Wales and Ireland, and to hold the Welsh Government to account as to what it's doing. And part of the…

Yes, I think that's a really important statement, Karen. As somebody who's attended the BIC in the past, we have quite often been looking around for something to discuss. We've turned up, had dinner, and read lines to take at each other, and then had lunch…

Okay, right. I'm grateful to you for that. My assumption was that you would also have said capacity in a sort of softer way, so providing help and support and ensuring that Visit Wales actually provides an infrastructure as well, or helps support the…

Okay. And what's the sort of quantum that you're talking about here, because you've used very small sums in your evidence this morning?

What can the Welsh Government do? It's simply money, is it?

Yes, but it's public funding.

Sorry, I'm going to stop you there. Our experience of local authorities is they do not provide that continuity. They look after their own areas, but they don't provide the wider, national view.

Yes, just to pursue that, because I think, in many ways, Carolyn and I are thinking along the same lines in terms of how you rescue this from the fire, in many ways. We were in Dublin last week and we heard evidence from a number of different sources that…

Well, for £6,000 I wouldn't expect it—. [Laughter.] Turning up is enough, you know, so—. How come you get so little? I find that extraordinary.
