I would be happy to facilitate a meeting with Deputy Moynihan and to work on the land banks that need to be made available through Údarás na Gaeltachta or Enterprise Ireland for smaller agencies. It is something we need to improve upon. I would be happy to work with the Deputy in that regard. I do not have specific figures on the work carried out with Údarás but I will come back to the Deputy.

I worked hard with Deputy Clendennen to deliver a significant land bank in County Offaly. These issues are commercially sensitive, given the ongoing negotiations with IDA. I am acutely aware of the work the Deputy has done on Cardinal Health and the big challenge we have there. As a midlands Minister, I will be to the forefront in working with the Deputy on delivering high value jobs to the regions, building on the 54% outside of our capital city we saw IDA deliver last year - the figure was 67% for Enterprise Ireland. The future is bright with all the good work we will be doing.
