I agree. Many sectors such as food, tourism, engineering and agricultural machinery have a strong regional base where we are competitive and can grow more competitive companies. That will be a focus. The total focus in this debate on how many IDA visits came to X, Y or Z town or village is not a realistic way to build the competitive strengths of our regions. We have to consider sectors that we can grow in those regions-----
