Does Mr. Clancy see any issue with the current housing crisis and how it is affecting companies ability and their ambition to grow? This is an issue, particularly in Wexford. Many of the businesses I visit are Enterprise Ireland clients and larger enterprises. We are very enterprising in Wexford. May of these businesses have to access labour markets abroad. In that context, they are obliged to find accommodation for people. I have had instances where companies have basically not been able to give people jobs because they could not find accommodation for them. As a result, that a growth ambition has been absolutely quashed. Does Mr. Clancy hear much about that issue?
