The officials have been so good and effective and stimulating the data centre industry in Ireland. There are challenges with that, of course, but I am sure they can be as effective at inviting foreign direct investment and getting it set up. I appreciate Mr. Curran's points about piggy-backing off the UK's industrial heritage and economy. However, we need to look to the likes of Germany and Netherlands where there are significant players who do want to be active in the Irish market and are knocking on the door. We should keep them in mind as well.

Does Ms Hennessy wish to come in?
