Dr. Bryan Fields:

Yes, such information reaches me. I was present at a meeting in the IDA offices in relation to a company that was about to come into Ireland. We discussed what FÁS could do to meet its skills needs, which it set out for us in that area. We communicate this information to the appropriate regional director who builds it into the business planning process. We can fast-track some of this, depending on the location of the inward investment. We have a strong business planning process, which the board reviews every three months. Each region has to submit a business plan, setting out the connections it has made in the region and nationally. We have a good process in place in that regard.
