I welcome the Minister of State. The appointment of Dr. Jimmy Devins, our Deputy for Sligo-Leitrim, to his current portfolio, which relates to intellectual property in particular, is probably one of the more important in Cabinet currently. It could be the most important Minister of State appointment by the Taoiseach in the Thirtieth Dáil. The entire future of job creation in Ireland rests entirely on the shoulders of our Minister of State whom I have known for quite a long time.
