Mr. Martin Shanahan:

I would like to think I have a pretty good relationship with the Department. We work very closely in the IDA with the Department. The Deputy may know that I was previously the chief executive of Forfás, which was integrated into the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation. That meant that for the last two years as we went through the integration process in which I was heavily involved, I worked very closely with the Department. I was also a member of the management committee of the Department for the last number of years. Personally, I consider that I have a good relationship and the IDA has a very good relationship with the Department.
