The Creative Economy: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Patrick Walsh:
We are certainly looking regionally all across Ireland and not just at Cork and Galway. There is great talent out there. The new working group has a Dublin focus and we are trying to get Dublin City Council, NAMA and other players around the table. At a minimum what we might try to do is share our learning if other regional and local county councils want to see what we have done here in Dublin. We could share what we have learned in order that they can begin to understand who are the stakeholders for bringing about this kind of infrastructure. As an organisation we will look at it through this Dublin start-up space initiative. We will focus on Dublin, and as part of that second organisation, we are very happy to share what we have learned - the learnings - with the regions because it is important the regions be developed. There are great talent pools out there.
