Can Mr. O'Leary give us a timeframe for the coming on stream of the Regeneron project? What we know at this stage is that there will be a significant and substantial investment of €200 million plus and that the location will be the former Dell manufacturing plant, which extends to 400,000 sq. ft. This project is of enormous significance for Limerick. As a representative for the area, I would like to assist in any way possible in ensuring it comes to fruition. I compliment IDA Ireland on its work in Limerick in the past two years which has resulted in more than 1,000 additional jobs in the area. Can I take it from IDA Ireland's perspective that every effort is being made to ensure this project comes to fruition?
