On the initiatives that Enterprise Ireland provides to encourage business growth in economically disadvantaged or less developed regions, I refer to the example of the strategic development zone of 246 acres assigned to Ireland West Airport Knock in 2019. This zone has yet to be activated, but it has huge potential. Can I ask Mr. Clancy about Enterprise Ireland's work to try to develop this site? I knot what a feasibility study is being undertaken, or that grant funding has been assigned. What additional support can we get through State agencies in order to try to unlock the potential that this strategic development zone has for east Mayo and for the west and north-west regions?
