Deputy Tóibín was selective himself at the beginning of his reply. He talked about IDA investment and the reduced number of IDA investments in County Meath. He is correct when Meath is compared with other counties in this regard, but may I compare the Enterprise Ireland record? He did not mention that. There are 7,302 people employed in Enterprise Ireland client companies in Meath. Let us compare that to Wicklow, which he mentioned, and Louth. Louth has 6,121 people employed in Enterprise Ireland client companies.
