I thank the councillors for their presentation and bringing this important point to our attention. The committee has previously discussed the development of the LEOs with the Minister. It was welcomed that the expertise of Enterprise Ireland was keying in with local authorities to provide a one-stop-shop. The association is speaking to the converted as I have served on a county development board and know the value of local authority membership on it. This is a matter we can put to the Minister as he is drafting the legislation. Enterprise Ireland will play an important role in supporting local authorities in the development of the LEOs. Is that the association’s view also?
