I know that IDA Ireland concentrates on attracting companies to Ireland, not to individual regions. It is a victory to get companies to locate in Ireland, whether in Dublin or elsewhere, but does IDA Ireland have a strategy for counties where no companies have located in recent times? I am sure Mr. O'Leary knows I am from Portlaoise and that no jobs have been created in County Laois in the past 20 years. Other counties have similar problems.
