I can understand why the Deputy would be looking for more action. The areas of initiative are not a surprise. They are about better integration of the market, which will promote opportunities. They are about improving the operation of the digital market, which has a big untapped potential in Ireland. It is estimated that 75% of online trading goes out of Ireland. This is about Horizon 2020 and the €80 billion investment involved, and the attempt to focus more of that on manufacturing.
