ConnectIreland's 'Succeed in Ireland' Programme: Discussion
11:00 am
Ms Joanna Murphy:
Our connectors, an army of diaspora volunteers, are as perplexed as we are. Our initiative was designed to be collaborative, to bring small companies to Ireland, to complement the work of IDA Ireland and to add value. The jobs that have come through our initiative are additional and there is no State subvention required. We are paid on a success-only basis.
We, like our connectors and this army of companies, are utterly perplexed. I do not know what we will say to them on Monday if we cannot resolve this today.
Unfortunately, I will not be able to answer the Deputy's second question, bearing in mind what the Chairman said earlier.
