In fairness, County Louth has a number of these hubs and is already seeing successes, as the Minister pointed out in respect of the Mill centre, Drogheda, and beyond. Creative Spark has its primary building as well as this new, secondary building, but a considerable number of other businesses are examining the idea too. Sites are available and can be utilised for this, and many companies will no doubt avail of it. Due diligence needs to be done to ensure the level of funding is appropriate. In respect of aspects of the connected hubs funding call, there are limits. It is about improving circumstances where there are already remote working hubs or where remote working of some sort exists. Do we need to consider other modalities to be able to provide for new, perhaps small remote working hubs in towns such as Dundalk?
