I wish to clarify what I said about an Irish enterprise agency. It is not to displace the chambers but to strengthen LEOs, which I believe do very good work in some areas but not in other areas. Some business people I have met have told me that they struggle with LEOs in some parts. I have also met some business people who told me that they approached LEOs but did not get any help. A more co-ordinated approach is needed to strengthen the economy so that we are not totally reliant on FDI, although I know it is crucial I thank the witnesses for their responses.
