We know of many examples of big investments happening in the country. They include, for example, Abbott in Donegal town and Pramerica in Letterkenny which at this stage must employ more than 1,000 people. We will see more of such investments. Project Ireland 2040 and the national planning framework, which is associated with it provide for population growth of 75% outside the greater Dublin region. In particular, they identify major growth centres, one of which is Letterkenny working with Derry.
