I wish to raise three issues. The first relates to Brexit. On the question of the relocation of financial services firms to Ireland arising from the UK's decision to leave the EU, has the Minister an estimate of the number of jobs that have been won so far, including jobs that have moved or that have been announced or pledged by firms? Are more announcements in the pipeline? Is he confident of more success in this regard? Generally, many would have expected a greater dividend for the State and not just for Dublin. The regions need to benefit as well from the spread of financial services following Brexit.
