Ms Joanna Murphy:

I will reply to the Deputy's first question by confirming that the cost of each ConnectIreland job is €4,000, of which we share €1,500 with our connector. I understand from IDA Ireland's recent figures that the figure of €10,500 has been well documented.

The reason we can do that is because of the enormous goodwill that ConnectIreland has received. I will ask my colleague, Mr. Clune to give examples of what ConnectIreland's goodwill has generated.
