I welcome Ms Murphy and Mr. Dowling and congratulate them. I commend this initiative.

The figure of 2,500 that Ms Murphy gave came as a bit of a shock - a good shock. They are companies with which the IDA had not engaged. What kind of companies were they? Were they 2,500 connectors? That is a huge figure.
