I thank the Minister of State for his constructive and comprehensive replies to the members' questions. It is good to hear that the reputation of ESB International continues to be enhanced abroad. The reputation of Irish companies is important and their business will be enhanced by the scheme in which the Minister of State is involved with IBEC. It is good to hear that EDA funding is being held back in Uganda.

I thank the Minister of State for his attendance.

I also thank his officials and I acknowledge the presence of Mr. George Hegarty, Mr. John O'Grady and Mr. Tony Cotter.
