I wish to come back to something Mr. Moran said about the multinational sector. He said it was capital-intensive. As someone who has worked in a pharmaceutical company, I agree with that. When it is as intensively based in capital as it is, is it not fair to say there is room for further employment to be created there? Just because we have not seen massive growth in jobs in the pharmaceutical sector, in particular, over the past 12 months, there is no reason to suggest we will not see it as profits improve and as there is a need for capital investment in those plants.
