Eamon Ryan (Dublin South, Green Party)

I have answered the Deputy's question and gave examples of where we will invest, namely, where there is market failure, particularly if a certain area or sector is left behind. We will invest because we want to get ahead of the game and we will provide public service ICT infrastructure in our schools in particular but also in other areas. That is where the State can invest to create the demand for these services that will create efficiencies. We do this in our own business by cutting our costs by improving our own ICT services. Those kinds of investment are the ones that help lift demand and make this happen.
