Mr. Tom Hayes:

I can tell the Deputy that the absolute obsession is jobs at the end of the day so if anybody has a project or activity, provided it falls within policy guidelines in terms of financial supports, it certainly will not be left wanting. In fact, under the new strategy now, each of the local authorities will have an opportunity to come forward with innovative ideas they may have in terms of job creation activities, whether it is in terms of building infrastructure locally or providing or further encouraging support to people to start a business. We will put a certain onus back on local authorities and the supports will be there then in return to help them to fund those businesses.
