Simon Harris: I thank Deputy Canney for raising this matter. We had an update from the Minister, Deputy Burke, at the Cabinet today. I do not have the figures in front of me but from looking through the table, local authority by local authority, it looks to me that around 60% of those eligible so far have applied for the grant. We will certainly keep under review the deadline for that grant. I think it...

David Stanton: I agree fully with the Tánaiste on that issue. The silo approach is not the way to go. It should be collective and co-operative. I have seen it in action and it is very impressive. When the Tánaiste opened Ireland House in New York, he mentioned Annie Moore from Cork, who left from Cobh. I will once again mention that for many years, and rightly so, we focused on the United...

David Stanton: I welcome the Tánaiste and his officials. I will ask about the Ireland House concept. It seems to be a very innovative and positive development. Has any cost-benefit analysis been carried out on the Ireland House work? How many have we got around the world and where are they?
