Emer Higgins (Dublin Mid West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I hear what the Deputy is saying, and absolutely we need to do more in this area. Part of the smart regions enterprise innovation scheme also looks at clustering. Perhaps that is something that might be relevant to the Deputy's constituency of Cavan-Monaghan, if, for example, there are manufacturing companies he feels could benefit from that. I hear what he is saying, that we need availability of land, grants and financial supports for local authorities or whoever else to develop them and turn them into active spaces for growing enterprises. I thank the Deputy for that feedback. We will look at it.
