My next issue is exports. The figures for March were extremely high. For example, the figures for the pharmaceutical industry were up by about 60% year on year. Perhaps the representatives from Enterprise Ireland might deal with the issue of exports in the next six to 12 months? There is a suggestion that they will drop by 8%. Is there any specific area where it is expected that this drop will happen? In the pharmaceutical sector, for example, have we any indications of an increase in exports rather than a decrease? The witnesses might outline the areas in respect of which there are particular concerns regarding exports.
