Ms Eileen Sharpe:

Some really interesting questions have been posed and I suggest we divide them into themes. As Mr. John Conlon is based in Shanghai, he would be the right person to cover many of the issues in respect of Irish companies in Asia, the one stop shop approach, how we market as an island in terms of Invest Northern Ireland and the criticality of third level institutions and how they operate overseas. As Mr. Shane Nolan runs our business in Dublin, he would be the right person to deal with the questions about access and prioritisation in terms of what companies are looking for; the question of co-ordination at local government level and how it supports our marketing efforts on the ground, and what are the key attractions. I will cover other issues, including the issue of human rights, the efficient resourcing of IDA Ireland and the two tier economy. If the committee is happy with this, we might take that approach.
