In the light of what has happened this morning at this committee, the question must be asked as to whether the contract can be taken up by the Department on a temporary basis while the review is ongoing. That would mean IDA Ireland would not face the legal difficulties it might otherwise expect to have with ConnectIreland. Can the suggestion be taken back to the Department that it continue to work with ConnectIreland in the interests of Ireland?
