In fairness to Mr. Richard Scannell and Ms Áine Maher, they are representing the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation while IDA Ireland is not here to answer. I agree wholeheartedly with the Senator that it is regrettable that IDA Ireland is not here. We saw the letter issued from IDA Ireland which said it would consider it regrettable if the committee proceeded with a hearing on Succeed in Ireland. It is regrettable the IDA is not here. In fairness to Mr. Richard Scannell and Ms Áine Maher, they are left trying to pick up the pieces.
