Dara Calleary (Mayo, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy. I do not have specific detail on the three areas to which she has referred. I will get back to her because I agree there is potential. I had an engagement with a representative of the Irish wool industry last week. He pointed out the significant potential in far-eastern markets, in particular, and I am following that through.

The Minister, Deputy Coveney, launched the smart regional innovation scheme and we are currently open to ideas and proposals on that scheme via Enterprise Ireland. Every Tuesday evening, it is running online seminars to brief communities, companies and educational institutions about how they can get involved. If the Deputy engages with the programme team of the west regional plan, she will find they are incredibly open to ideas and suggestions, particularly in the space to which the Deputy has referred.
