I will absolutely make sure that Carlow is not forgotten. We could not possibly forget it with the Deputy here. As the Deputy knows, in IDA Ireland's strategy there is a target to complete an advanced building solution in Carlow in 2022. It could end up being early in 2023 but it is a commitment and it will happen. There is also a commitment to bring additional investment to the south-east region. There are clear targets. Construction of the third advanced building solution in Waterford will also benefit Carlow as will the various developments in Kilkenny. There is a lot going on in the counties represented by the Deputy from IDA Ireland's point of view and rightly so because it is very committed to the regions. The Department is also working on this.
