Mr. Robert Watt:
A Bill is being prepared and the Minister for Finance, Deputy Noonan, will publish it around Easter. It will set out the mandate and there will be an obligation to develop an investment strategy which must listen to the views of Government. Based on what I have seen, there is no regional angle or perspective to this. The job is to invest in projects with an economic and jobs impact and which are commercial. As far as I am aware at this stage, there is no regional impact consideration.
