I will briefly put on record the good jobs we have had in the past number of years in my own constituency of Limerick. It has been fantastic. There have been Eli Lilly, Dell, Analog Devices, Carelon and lots of others. Are there any plans for additional property or site purchases in the mid-west region? Castletroy industrial estate is probably almost full. I know Raheen business park is full. Eli Lilly is finishing that off. The issue raised by others about housing is the number one priority. I understand some companies, including Eli Lilly and others, are either buying the houses themselves for their employees or going through long-term leases with different builders. That is good for the company but unfortunately, it means people trying to buy houses themselves are being locked out. Can Mr. O'Rourke give us a flavour of what sort of stuff the IDA has purchased or intends to purchase in the mid-west?
