I cannot speak about all of the parts of the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport. I can speak from a job creation point of view. In my previous post I spent a lot of time dealing with the educational institutions, at all levels, that are located in the Shannon area and in Limerick. Those institutions contribute to the job creation prospects of the area. They are flexible in terms of the courses they provide in conjunction with businesses in the area. I have no doubt that this is where we will see a growth in jobs in the future. A great deal of work is being done by the Shannon Airport Authority and across all of the different levels of education. Therefore, I am quite confident about future job creation in the area. My confidence also stems from the work being done by a number of Departments.
