I thank Deputy Nash for raising this important matter. I am very eager to meet with that group. I am very happy to do so and I intend to do it in the month of June. Shona McManus introduced its members to me last week and the Deputy has rightly raised this issue on several occasions as well. I thank him for doing that. I am very eager that we invest more in Drogheda. We have a good track record, I think, of working together on a number of issues, including expanding Drogheda Institute of Further Education and the new apprenticeship centre in Drogheda as well. I thought the members of the group were very constructive, pragmatic and clued-in and I look forward to meeting them in June.
