I agree with the Minister. I welcome the news that she has asked for the Regional Action Plan for Jobs in the mid-west to be refreshed and refocused. I ask her to maintain contact to ensure this will continue. Things like the Limerick for Engineering showcase and work undertaken by the Limerick Institute of Technology and the University of Limerick are fantastic collaborations with companies. I have seen for myself the precision engineering industry's engagement with Limerick Institute of Technology and the work done by a variety of industries with the University of Limerick. We must make sure it will continue. This is a warning. I urge the Minister to pay particular attention to the region.
