Mr. Martin Shanahan:

I mean how easy it is to set up a company here, to operate within the State, to get a utility connection, whether gas or electricity, to register a company, to employ people. It is all-encapsulating. Ireland is normally first or second on the indices for ease of doing business. Companies that come here experience a very welcoming environment. They do not find a lot of bureaucracy or unnecessary administrative overhead. They do not find that in Ireland, which does very well in that regard. They all understand that there has to be regulation.
