Excellent. I thank the Minister. In his opening statement, he mentioned the diverse nature of the Irish economy. A central plank of his White Paper is focused on diluting the concentration risks in the multinational sector by growing our domestic and SME sector. Obviously, growing the indigenous SME sector will help with economic diversification and protect our economy from external shocks. Does the Minister believe that we currently have enough diversification throughout the economy? If so, is it deep enough and sustainable?
