I wish Mr. O'Rourke the best of luck in the task ahead. The road ahead is not straight and there are many challenges facing the Enterprise Ireland board. I will not go back over my own views on KPMG and the three other auditing firms that were part and parcel of the downfall of the economy in not doing their oversight properly. I will make judgment on Mr. O'Rourke's own performance in the years ahead, rather than looking back.

As regards the appointment of a new CEO, Mr. O'Rourke will have a hard act to follow after the current CEO, Mr. Frank Ryan. What vision does Mr. O'Rourke see ahead for him that might change-----
