I am disappointed that Deputy O'Reilly used her time plus extra time for political point-scoring, particularly when the Minister of State, Deputy Troy, is not on the call. I welcome the 9% increase in employment growth in the west. It is very welcome. I acknowledge the significant work that Catherina Blewitt and her team are doing in the west. I know the lady in a professional capacity. She has done Trojan work in our city and beyond.

I am conscious that the Oranmore site has been idle for a time. If Mr. Shanahan could come back to me when he has more information, I would appreciate it. It is fantastic that the site is in the final ten regarding Intel and the challenges therein. Could Mr. Shanahan confirm that it is part of the three-year IDA Ireland strategy? Is he confident that a company for that site would be identified in the next 18 months to two years?
