I wish to address the European fund for strategic investments. In his presentation the Minister spoke about meeting the deadline for agreement on the issue with the European Parliament by the end of June. When does he expect the fund to become operational and when will we see shovels turning in Ireland? The investments are not capped per country, but does the Minister have an estimate of the employment creation potential in Ireland?
