Tá áthas orm mar bhean as Conamara fáilte a chur roimh bhean eile as Conamara, an Coimisinéir, inniu. Is as an Chlochán mé so níl mo bhlás chomh flúirseach agus atá sé i gCarna. Tá gach éinne i gConamara an-bhródúil as ucht an méid atá bainte amach ag an gCoimisinéir, ní amháin sa Choimisiún, ach nuair a bhí sí ina Ball Oireachtais, go háirithe as ucht an mhisnigh a thug sí do mhná na hÉireann.

I have one question mar gheall ar SMEs. We could consider innovation hubs for SMEs that have branched out from universities and are now on their own employing six to ten people. I saw this in Finland, where little clusters of businesses come together for innovation and research. We have priorities set out in our action plan, which is working well with the universities, but to paraphrase Senator Barrett, our SMEs are too valuable to let fail.
