Ciaran, |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Having the benchmarks allows consideration of the design trade offs to |
| 37 |
be made. It moves the GLEP one step closer to acceptance, in one form |
| 38 |
or another. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Like tonight at the council meeting, the meeting acknowledged that |
| 41 |
there is one or more problems to be addressed, thats the first step. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
The benchmarks are only one piece of the pursuavie evidence. |
| 44 |
Speed isn't everything. Let me remind you of an old playground joke, |
| 45 |
There is an old bull and a young bull in a field on a hillside, next to |
| 46 |
a herd of cows .... I'm sure you know it. |
