Unfortunately, that answer does not tell me any more than I already know about the international content services centre. The programme for Government states that budgetary support is being committed for six priority areas in the knowledge society report, one of which is the establishment of an international content services centre in co-operation between the digital hub and the IDA. The Labour Party supports that, but what level of budgetary support is being provided for the international content services centre? When will it be established?

In a report dated 23 July 2009, the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Deputy Eamon Ryan, announced that the international content services centre would be established in 2010. Will it be established this year? If so, where will it be located and how many jobs will it generate? I am inclined to agree with the Minister, Deputy Ryan, when he says that it has the potential to create thousands of jobs. It is an IFSC-type idea for digital content and has huge potential. The only problem is that we have not seen much evidence of the Government doing anything to follow through on it. Can the Taoiseach answer those questions? What level of budgetary support has been, or is being, provided for this? Will it be established in 2010 and, if so, where and what is the estimate for the number of jobs it will create? Is anything being done about it?

As I just explained to the Deputy, it has the potential to create many thousands of jobs.

Potential, yes.

The IDA is leading that project and is working with the digital hub. IDA personnel are working on that matter and when it emerges, if they can bring forward a proposal for consideration by the board, it will of course obtain budgetary support though the IDA's grant-in-aid and all the other facilities we have available to assist enterprise supports. We are providing over €200 million this year for enterprise supports. When a mature project is brought before it, the board will consider it in the normal way. It is not a question of picking something out of the air and deciding "Here's the international content services centre". One must sit down and work with partners to see in what way one can bring forward experts in this area, in addition to the expertise we have identified at home ourselves. It is not a question of sitting back on any of these projects.

The work of seeking new opportunities for the IFSC is ongoing. As regards all areas of activity, Enterprise Ireland and the IDA are devising strategies based on the new situation we are in, including identifying the areas I have just mentioned. The IDA has been looking at high-level manufacturing and pharmaceuticals — areas with which we are all acquainted and where we have some strengths. Despite worldwide foreign direct investment being down by 30%, it was up 4% here last year, which was the worst year we ever had.

The Taoiseach does not know the first thing about it.

Deputy Gilmore, please.

The Deputy does not want to hear anything because his view is——

The Taoiseach knows nothing about it.

Deputy Gilmore, please.

The Deputy has a typical approach which says that it has protected 5,000 jobs so where are the 5,000 jobs. Work must take place for that to happen. IDA Ireland, which is far more qualified than the Deputy in bringing forward foreign direct investment to the country, is actively pursuing that project. Those on the other side of the House were sceptical about other major projects introduced by Fianna Fáil-led Governments; we will prove them wrong on this one as well.

Like the developers and the building industry.
