I thank Ms Murphy for the presentation which was appreciated. I am perplexed by the decision of IDA Ireland not to renew the contract. I cannot get my head around the reasoning for it. From speaking to ConnectIreland in the past and seeing the jobs it has delivered in areas where IDA Ireland is not going to deliver them, especially in rural Ireland and the more remote parts of the State - IDA Ireland would not even make a site visit, never mind bring jobs there - I cannot understand why IDA Ireland is not renewing the contract. What are the connectors saying? They must be absolutely perplexed about what is happening. Have there been instances where jobs sourced through the Succeed in Ireland programme have been claimed by IDA Ireland?
