Tourism is very important in the Deputy's area. There is a new 10,000 sq. ft. Ludgate digital hub building that opened this year in Skibbereen, providing up to 75 desks, training and meeting room space. The building has 1,000 MB connectivity. I am definitely in the business of making sure that good quality jobs come to Ireland and are developed and scaled in Ireland by Enterprise Ireland companies and firms that work with our local enterprise offices. We are also announcing a consortium involving University College Cork, Cork Institute of Technology, the National University of Ireland, Galway, and Trinity College Dublin to win the health innovation hub. That will provide good quality jobs. I have attended meetings of all the regional action plan for jobs implementation groups. They all sing from one hymn sheet and we want good quality jobs.
