If the issue is in the greater Dublin area, should we be looking at taking a twofold approach to this? In other words, the rest of the country versus Dublin. If there is scope, there is opportunity and there is capacity. Should we be looking at that as a priority? I would have concern that tardiness and the nature of the approach to this are leading to investment going overseas. It has reputational impact as well in relation to foreign direct investment, not only in respect of this but also on a broader sectoral basis.
