Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Community Partnership Mobilisation Programme: ConnectIreland

1:30 pm

Ms Joanna Murphy:

We would love to expand our programme. We have energy and 50,000 people who are positively disposed towards it and want to do other things. If we have 2,000 connectors who are in a position to introduce an expanding company, the other 48,000 will want to do something for Ireland. They will ask what we want them to do, such as a tourism or education piece, and where they can add value. I want the committee to understand the next link in the chain for us. We have great ambitions, as do those in the Irish diaspora. They like to be asked and remembered. We are delighted to be a vehicle for them to utilise in that respect.
