My interest here is that Taxback is based in Kilkenny and is a well-respected employer, as is ConnectIreland, not just in the constituency but throughout the world. Taxback has been extremely successful in the work it does and, likewise, with ConnectIreland.

I want to put on record that the level of arrogance shown by the IDA by not turning up is something I have not seen in this House for quite some time. The manner in which the opening statement was given and the lack of content in addressing the issue is further shocking from the Department.

How much does it cost IDA Ireland to create a job?
