No.
First of all, we're very conscious of the difference in scale between Ireland and Canada. We come up against that, needless to say, in the European Union as well, where we'd have 80 million Germans and 56 million U.K. people and so on. Sometimes we're conscious that what might work in Ireland would have to be reworked for it to work in larger countries.
But in terms of the jurisdiction within the Republic of Ireland--and there's another jurisdiction, of course, in Northern Ireland--it's a country with a population of four million. It's relatively small, and it would fit into a small corner of Canada, probably. I think the next area down would be local authorities, but they wouldn't have near the level of jurisdiction. Most of the major programs like health, income support, and employment support would be administered at a national level, but they'd have a local presence. But responsibility, virtually, would lie at the national level without any intermediate levels of responsibility. In that respect we would be a bit like the United Kingdom, quite a centralized country.
I know in the Scandinavian countries in particular, what they call their municipalities have a significant degree of responsibility for social services in particular, but that wouldn't apply in Ireland to the same extent at all.
