I have a question on advanced technology buildings. Obviously, it can be a bone of contention throughout the country. Let us consider the figures. The midlands region tends to lag behind other regions in terms of IDA-supported jobs. The relevant figure is approximately 4,000 odd. That figure has not grown significantly in recent years, when other areas have been getting a bounce. What criteria does IDA Ireland apply in terms of when it is seeking somewhere for an advanced factory building?
