Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

——the support we have been giving Enterprise Ireland has been very strong. Venture capital initiatives have been particularly effective and the most recent round I have announced will be even more effective. The results from Enterprise Ireland more or less confirm that. The county enterprise boards have had good success across the country in terms of micro business. That is not to say we can afford to take the foot off the pedal. We must keep pushing, maintain our vigilance and as regards the specific question the Deputy asked, which is not the subject matter of this question, I will come back to him on that.
