Dr. Ciaran Byrne:

I will answer the question on the one-stop shop and I might pass the other questions to Mr. Deegan. I thank the Senator for her positive comments, which I very much appreciate. I would share her view that it is a very positive thing that we are doing.

In terms of the question asking the full complement of the one-stop shops, we have five registered, we have 15 more in the process and we have a target this year of 20. To give a kind of a non-answer, we do not have a full complement because there is no upper limit. What we want to do is attract as many companies as the market can sustain not just in Dublin but in regionally-based parts of the country as well. We have relatively strict criteria to get in to ensure that we have the quality piece and a company is capable of doing this work. Importantly, although there are five one-stop shops they all work directly with the contractor community. People have the idea that there are only five companies that do this but they all feed into various contractors around the country so all have a national presence. While they might not exactly have direct employees in Cork they will work with contractors who are based in Cork and things like that. From that perspective, the actual number may be unclear.
