I thank the Minister and her team. As we know from the budget process, Enterprise Ireland and IDA Ireland have received an extra allocation for their staff headcount. However, when they appeared before us as part of our hearings they stated that between the two organisations they had not received a specific allocation. Could the Minister give us some exact detail on how this has been rolled out? Has it been signed off on yet? Are Enterprise Ireland and IDA Ireland in a position to start recruiting and confirming their numbers as we head into 2017?
