I thank the gentlemen for being with us today. I will start with the point Dr. Kelly made that "looking to the medium term, maintaining Ireland's attractiveness for foreign direct investment remains essential". Is he more worried about the impact of tariffs long term with larger industries and companies not investing in infrastructure such as factories or office blocks because of the uncertainty created by tariffs? Is there more of a worry, which I think comes from private industry and we will probably get it this evening, particularly around planning delays and abuse of the judicial review process, about turning off private investment in this country from multinationals? Are both factors or does one worry him more than the other?
