I have a concern about companies in this country. Recently, we lost 140 jobs in Abbeyfeale. Those jobs have been repurposed through the same company but they have gone to China. That is why my question was around this. If we keep going like this, as has been was pointed out, and there is a pull-out of international companies, which are the major employers in this country, it is having all our eggs in one basket. That is what my concern comes back to. For them to be viable here, they need the basic essentials, which are sewerage, water, infrastructure, housing, electricity and the Internet. They need that to work here and they need to have the employees to do what they need to do. This is across the base of all the different companies. Infrastructure is the key to this. It is one of my concerns.
