I thank Mr. Holden for his presentation. I will start with my own questions before bringing in my colleagues. I note a recent article in The Irish Timesby the Digital Hub's CEO in which he describes trying to attract companies with 150 employees. How does Mr. Holden see that fitting in with his current operation?

I understand that approximately 64% of the Digital Hub's revenue is self-generated, with the rest coming from State funds. Are there plans to grow that revenue? Does Mr. Holden believe that, in light of the way it is currently constituted, the Digital Hub Development Agency can be successful? Finally, on economies of scale, can Mr. Holden see the Digital Hub taking advantage of linking in with the likes of Google? I ask Mr. Holden to note those questions as I will call on my colleague, Senator Leyden, to speak next.
