It is important any Government response be carefully considered and comprehensive. The Deputy will acknowledge that since his party's legislation was brought forward, the UN has updated its list. I have been engaging directly with my officials and the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund, and we recognise the role we have to play on this issue. It is important we ensure that Government policy is reflected in the decisions that are made on the investment front. I am working through this and considering what the options are, and I expect to make a recommendation to the Government shortly.
