The other issue related to visits and talking up one's area is that of the actual number of jobs created. I am saying this in the context of the initiative that was announced yesterday. That initiative was announced by the Government, so do I take it that it is Government policy or is it an initiative that was brought forward by the IDA and simply announced by the Government? Where did the idea come from?
