Dara Calleary: I welcome the Minister, the Ministers of State and their officials. I notice a certain ministerial nervousness around consultancy fees, which is welcome, but Forfás spent €11.3 million on research in 2012.

Dara Calleary: It is proposed to maintain the target to deliver 50% of IDA investment to centres outside Dublin and Cork. In 2013, it was 30% and the IDA states in its end of year report that it is a challenge to reach that 50% figure. In 2013, 64% of the visits by incoming client companies were to Dublin and to Cork.
