I have some final questions. Are the witnesses satisfied that they are getting enough interaction from the smaller enterprises rather than the medium-sized enterprises? Are the smaller and start-up enterprises engaging enough? Is there enough interaction and economic activity from the point of view of the surveys in the less-developed parts of the Border economy in particular? We all know the Dublin-Belfast line will surge ahead economically as they are the two largest urban centres. I am thinking of the central Border area: Cavan, Monaghan, Fermanagh, Tyrone and Armagh. Those areas need a particular focus. Do the witnesses see emerging enterprise developments that would give hope for the further and necessary economic development and regeneration in that area?
