Ms Fionnuala Healy:

On hot-desking, I wish to add to what Deputy Collins said earlier about half-empty buildings. Sometimes incubation centres tend to be on the outskirts of town or located in universities. Often, people running start-ups need to meet with venture capitalists or angel investors or have professional meetings, and one does not want to make it difficult for them. A trip to the city centre is more accommodating, and a city centre location also allows for people to bump into each other. It is again facilitating the network in the start-up community. Networking is quite strong in Dublin and that is something we should be leveraging more.
