Are any other barriers emerging from interaction with companies? I accept the top one or two have been addressed, but are there other issues on which the committee could work to ease the pain? We have dealt with problems for member companies last year such as the US gap and changes in accounting rules. The engagement was slower than would normally be the case with Irish companies, which come straight to us with a problem much more quickly. I am conscious that there might be issues with which help is required. The companies could engage with the committee on a more regular basis. We wish to tease through problems and make it easier for people to create employment in the country.

If there are no other comments we will conclude the meeting. I appreciate the attendance of the witnesses. It was good that they could come before the committee. I welcome ongoing engagement with the American Chamber of Commerce. We are here to help.
