I would like arbitration or mediation to bring that phase to a conclusion, and then to move on. I am certainly happy to pursue this. I agree with the Chairman's comments and anyone would be happy to pursue jobs from whatever source. IDA Ireland is doing a very good job. It has more foreign direct investment in the pipeline. Recently I have seen at first hand the trade missions and so on, as has the Minister of State, Deputy Halligan, and connections being made with firms. There is huge interest in Ireland, particularly in the post-Brexit situation. Many firms who have headquartered in London are very keen to examine the possibility of relocating to various parts of Ireland, cities and regional areas, especially when it comes to manufacturing.
