Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs
Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership: Discussion
2:00 pm
Mr. Mark Redmond:
I support Dr. Healy's comments that we cannot be complacent about FDI and its presence in our country. We have published a paper in the last three weeks entitled, Ireland's Innovation Pathway. It is the result of deep and comprehensive consultation with the US FDI community in Ireland on what will maintain and attract FDI in the coming decade. In terms of Dr. Healy's point, it is a game changer. The game changer is raising our game in investment in research, development and innovation. That is what we are competing with across the world to maintain and bring jobs here. I support that comment.
