Mr. Martin Shanahan:

We could not market Ireland as a low wage economy because there are economies which are much more competitive from a low wage perspective. We market Ireland on the basis of the value added. While our wages are higher we believe, and the evidence shows, that the employees add more value so we do not market Ireland as a low wage economy.
