I will conclude the first round of questions and ask members to indicate for round two.

I echo the comments on enterprise agencies and pass my best wishes on to IDA Ireland, Enterprise Ireland, the LEOs, and we cannot forget InterTradeIreland, which have done really exceptional work during the pandemic. InterTradeIreland, in particular, has been really successful with cross-border trade on both sides. I would appreciate it if the Minister could pass on my comments.

He stated in his opening contribution, "We will also make progress towards a living wage for Ireland." Will he confirm his understanding of a living wage? What should be the rate? How does the Minister intend to progress to that?

The Living Wage for Ireland group has a living wage of €12.90.
