Mr. Tom Hayes:
Some ten or 15 years ago there might have been a view that manufacturing in Ireland would not be the area to be in because we were not competitive, but we are now very familiar with many of the companies which are now bringing back production to Ireland that they had undertaken in central and eastern Europe or the Far East. There are many small production units. Those are the kind of people which are coming through the LEO network.
