Ms Siobhán Finn:

We see in our enterprise centres that the key issue is the lack of housing. We have several dozen enterprise centres that sit in rural and regional communities. They accommodate companies that are looking for staff, are working very hard to attract talent to these local communities and are putting an awful lot of effort into retaining the skills that do exist in those local communities but housing is the biggest obstacle. We have an enterprise centre in Sneem in County Kerry, which has quite a significant community that has come from South Africa with quite a number of additional families wanting to come but there is no accommodation available for them. That is one example. The other issue is the cost of living, which has been addressed.
