Mr. James Claffey:

I return to my original point and the structures that are needed in rural areas in order to drive the economy. We are targeting towns on which the economic crisis has had the greatest impact by trying to stimulate residents to come up with ideas and seeing if these can be translated to national level. In certain towns we have studied, there have been huge increases in employment in, for example, the creative economy. We are of the view that it is necessary to discover the kind of skills that are available in a particular area and the demand that exists there. By doing this, it would be possible to target individual towns and villages in the context of driving forward or stimulating that economy.
