Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

The basic point I am making is that we have set up a centralised office and it is proceeding with its work. I cannot give the Deputy the detail of where that is at because it is outside the ambit of this question, but I have sought to provide him with an indication of the practical steps that are being taken to improve SME participation, for example. In regard to the other issues he raised, I will have to get back to him on those.
