I welcome Ms Murphy and Mr. Dowling. It is a really exciting project and they have given us a lot of food for thought, which will, it is to be hoped, prompt some of us to make a few phone calls and connections with people we know in various parts of the world. There are 50,000 connectors. Where, geographically, is the group making the most progress? Is it in the UK, US, Australia or elsewhere? Is IDA Ireland interested in companies of a particular size? Where is the line drawn between large and small companies? Is it based on potential employment levels? What means of making connections works best in the various locations? Reference was made to various sporting organisations.
