Many of the meetings and contacts are happening daily and hourly, even if they are not happening publicly. However, the public roll-out of that is about to commence. EI is diversifying all the time and that is important. Right now, it is dealing with protecting companies that export to the UK which have not hedged against currency fluctuations. EI is working on that strategy. At the same time there are schemes and strategies as part of the contingency framework in terms of upping the ante in new markets. In so far as Asia and America are concerned, I will be in Asia twice in the coming six months at least and the Taoiseach will follow there as well. All that work is being done and the committee members will hear more about it publicly in the coming weeks.
