I will be visiting the Deputy's constituency and I hope to meet him there along with other Oireachtas Members. I have been in touch with the regional director who has been specifically appointed there. She is Ms Anne-Marie Tierney-Le Roux. She was appointed in January 2015. I know that the Cork IDA Ireland office was managing the south east. She has assured me that the south east is definitely on IDA Ireland's radar. Waterford is being actively marketed to FDIs. I think it was about two weeks ago that I was reading the report by Dr. Ray Griffin and Dr. Cormac O'Keeffe. It was about the specific issues in Waterford. On the same day, the good news came through, as I am sure the Deputy is aware, that 160 jobs were announced-----
