What I will state in addition is they are mobile investments. Each country is fighting and killing itself to try to get these really good well-paid jobs into the country. I have stood in the premises of some of these companies to announce jobs and have seen parents crying because their children have got jobs. They are absolutely ecstatic. This applies especially in regional and rural Ireland. This gives people a chance to live in rural Ireland, rear children, support families and buy homes. That is why they are well-paid jobs. They are not temporary or minimum-wage jobs. They are not cheap-end jobs. They are really good jobs that most parents want their children to get and there are 187,000 of them.
