Denis Naughten (Roscommon-South Leitrim, Fine Gael)

I have one brief question for the Minister of State. I acknowledge his reply to Deputy Penrose. I ask the senior Minister to consider consolidating the land portfolios of both IDA Ireland and Enterprise Ireland. Businesses cannot be given a site because they come under the auspices of Enterprise Ireland and the lands are owned by IDA Ireland. This is costing jobs. Such an initiative would be simple and would help create jobs tomorrow morning. I urge the Minister to take up this as an initial initiative.
