I will start with the Advanced Manufacturing Training Centre of Excellence. Like Deputy Smith, I know Martin O'Brien from when he was CEO of the Cavan-Monaghan ETB. How did he see a gap for the training centre? It was said in response to Deputy Smith that there is another one in Laois-Offaly. If they are the only two, not all ETBs have such a centre. Was he approached to open the centre? I am sure there are gaps in other parts of the country where something like this would be useful. What prompted him to open the centre?
