David Stanton (FG), Cork East

I strongly support Deputy Bruton in what he is saying. This has been called the fourth industrial revolution. I was at the committee meeting to which the Deputy refers. The amount of funding the companies are putting in here is staggering. Billions upon billions of euro and dollars are being spent by the large multinational companies in this area. It is going to change everything and it is happening as we speak. Does the Minister agree that at very least we should have a Cabinet subcommittee, if not a dedicated Oireachtas committee, to deal with this issue on its own?
