I extend a welcome to our visitors. My brief is communication, energy and natural resources, so I seek their indulgence if some of my questions are a bit naive.

The presentation on the enterprise and investment unit was excellent. Is that common in all local authorities? When I was a member of Leitrim County Council, no similar unit existed. How does one measure the level of success? What are the performance indicators that reflect success? To what extent do the local authorities work with those providing the tourism product in the market place?

I was disappointed to note that Matt Molloy's pub did not appear on the list of famous features. I have been to that great music house once or twice.
