I will make one final point before I hand over to whomever wants to contribute. Surely not every investor is telling the IDA they know where they want to go in Ireland. Surely the IDA can say it can bring an investor to Roscommon or Longford, for example, where there is a site that might suit it. Is it a case that the criteria have changed and that the IDA is no longer inviting an investor in to spend three or four days at a site? Are investors now ringing up and asking the IDA to get them a suitable site and the IDA looks for that site and gets back to the investor to see if it is suitable?
