I would like to make an observation in that context. Perhaps the time is coming when there will be an engagement between the Departments of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources and Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation. I am aware of business parks in more remote areas that have broadband but it is not adequate to enable them to compete. Second level schools have been quite well served by broadband infrastructure. Maybe a change in focus towards economic work and economic generation would be useful. The Minister has provided €5 million for the online trading scheme under subhead A5. I believe that was a pilot project involving the Dublin City Enterprise Board. Will this allocation provide for a greater national roll-out of the scheme?
