Deputy Patricia Ryan is next but I might put a question myself so we have a little break between Sinn Féin contributions. I will then open it to a second round. We must finish for the next session, which is at 7.30 p.m.

I want to use my short time to talk about regional uplift, its future and the view of each representative group on that. I will start with SGI because I am trying to get a sense with regard to the workers and the guilds. We have not heard from Mr. Keeley. He has my dream job, which is model building. I might offer to swap as I would love that job. I want to get a sense of how that works in terms of trainees and people on set who are providing particular skills. The impression from the outside is that people travel to particular projects. I am interested in the guilds approach to regional uplift and how important it is to SGI. Is that of any importance to it? I will then ask everybody else to come in.
