I thank both Deputies for raising this matter. A lot of work has been done in the south east through the regional enterprise plan. All of the agencies are working closely together to promote that area as a place in which to invest and to do business. The Deputies will be pleased that there were two IDA Ireland announcements recently. Only last week, I was on a trade mission to South Africa with Taoglas, which is a wonderful company originally based in Wexford. The type of product it is selling is being sold on a global basis. When athletes wear a particular piece of kit to monitor their performance, the antenna in that kit is made by Taoglas. It is a wonderful and innovative company based in the south east, and we want to see more of that in the region.
