We regularly discuss site visits in the Dáil and we did so last week. I know how the figures are presented in the Action Plan for Jobs and how they are regionalised. It would be remiss of me if I did not raise it again. Roscommon has had one site visit and Kerry has had three. We are giving money to IDA Ireland which is involved in job promotion and job creation. We all understand we cannot dictate where a client company that is visiting Ireland should locate. However, is the Minister happy that there has been only one site visit to Roscommon and three to Kerry? I do not think anybody could be happy with it. Where are we going with it? We cannot just pretend that it is acceptable; I know the Minister does not pretend it is acceptable. What are we doing to put pressure on IDA Ireland to address this?
