Ms Br?d O'Connell:

I would love to see the Government of Ireland turning to Guaranteed Irish and using its licences to promote businesses and to promote Ireland. I would be very interested in entering into a conversation with the Deputy on opportunities for our members when they tender for work. It would be nice to see Guaranteed Irish businesses, which give back so much to their own communities, being weighted or considered differently. It would be good if there were some points for that. There is an opportunity to consider things like that. Guaranteed Irish businesses are not just Irish businesses. They are businesses based in Ireland. They pay their taxes here, have a physical presence here and they give back. They are not just any business; they are special businesses and that needs to be acknowledged.
