Mr. Frank Ryan:

The strategy for the region is multifaceted. One has existing companies in the region which we would like to see create more employment, business start-ups, including start-ups from the University of Limerick, Limerick Institute of Technology, etc., and Enterprise Ireland's funding of the community enterprise centres in the region. One then has the plans for the redevelopment of Shannon Airport, to which Enterprise Ireland is party as a member of the committee working on the issue. We look forward to bringing out a new competitive start fund based on aviation for Shannon Airport, which will roll out this year.
