I welcome this morning's job announcement in the Cork region, the fourth such announcement in the past seven days. It indicates that the way we are running the economy is having a positive effect on investors who now have the confidence to invest in this country again.

While I always welcome Senator Rónán Mullen's contributions in the House, I advise him that issues such as the single farm payment and other farming related matters are also relevant. I am sure he will become an expert on these issues in the run-up to the European Parliament elections.

I am closer to the land than the Senator ever was. It is a while since he last saw the back end of a cow.

The Senator will become very familiar with these issues in the next few months. As someone who comes from an area where an entire valley was flooded to provide electricity-----

Does the Senator have a question for the Leader?

I do and it is very relevant. I come from an area where an entire valley was flooded in the building of a hydroelectric power station. While my own family was directly affected by that development, benefits accrued to the entire community and country in that the State was able to provide electricity for every household and business. That was 50 years ago and today we must look at new ways of developing and making sure business can be conducted anywhere in the country. We need to have a structured and real debate on the issue. The Minister is right to initiate the review recently announced. We should have a debate in this House in order that all of the issues can be put on the table. It is important to do this now because we need leadership. There is misinformation, while a lot of factual information is unavailable. A debate in the House on the issue would be helpful. I invite Senator Rónán Mullen to come to my part of the country when I will show him the changes made to the landscape.

I invite the Senator to visit my farm, too.

Does the Senator have three jobs?
