I thank Mr. Clancy for that.

Deputy Stanton referred to the LEOs and the fantastic work they are doing. I echo his comments in that regard. That was really shown over the past two or three years. Certainly, in Galway city and county, going back to previous boards, before the LEOs, terrific work has been done. I acknowledge Breda Fox and her team in Galway city and county. Mr. Clancy referred to the trading online voucher scheme, which has been very successful. I know personally a number of SMEs in Galway that have used them and given me good feedback on them. Are further data available on the scheme in respect of the number of online sales made by companies that received a voucher and received the investment? What percentage of companies have persisted with digital? Will the witnesses comment on the impact of the scheme overall?
