Annual Report 2013: Bord Iascaigh Mhara

Mr. Donal Buckley:

The companies are examined and there is a system of evaluation of the grants. A company getting a grant must meet certain criteria, such as adding market value, development and employment creation. If companies grow, our experience is that we get from €3 million to €4 million in additional growth in activity, adding more indirect jobs in the community. The 75 jobs I mentioned refers to direct jobs. I cannot say more than that.
