Mr. Conor O'Kelly:

The message is that we are open for business. We have engaged with most of the Departments and, hopefully, most of the key industries know about us by now. The Kilkenny regeneration project is particularly interesting and councils throughout the country are beginning to look at what might be possible. People are also looking closely at the infrastructure in terms of housing. There is quite a big regional spread so as we make investments across the country, awareness of the fund becomes more significant. Our pipeline is very large and full of some very interesting high quality projects. I am very comfortable about that but if people do not know about us and they have something to say, they should come and see us.

We have examined 5,000 projects in the past two years in regard to ISIF. We have only made 39 investments so there is a high bar to jump, but we are happy to see everything.
