I apologise because I will need to leave later as I have another event at 10.45. I welcome our guests this morning and thank them for a most interesting and ambitious presentation. It is great that Mr. Travers was in Cork and other places announcing jobs and I hope he can keep that up.

Ms Fitzpatrick mentioned the digital nations and that we should become more involved. I believe we are not involved at all. From what I can see, there are ten other countries - Estonia, Israel, South Korea, New Zealand, the UK, Canada, Uruguay, Mexico, Portugal and Denmark. I ask her to tell us a bit more about that and why we should get involved.
