I do not doubt that and I did my sums on the figures of the number of jobs and the wage bill of €9 billion that is paid to 187,000 employees. I do not doubt the average, however I did ask Ms Buckley if IDA Ireland does a check on the standard and type of job that these companies are locating in Ireland. I can mention the companies. I know public money is being used to fund them. I am concerned about the type of jobs they are promoting in our cities which are more like a return to the 1913 rather than 21st century type jobs.
