Ms Joanna Murphy:

I thank the Deputy for his question and for highlighting this issue. ConnectIreland is concerned only with ensuring that its connectors are treated fairly and appropriately. We have run, with great pride and, I hope, with some dignity, this Government-backed programme. Up to December last, Mr. Moran, through his connection, had brought 125 jobs to Gweedore, which is a beautiful part of the world on the edge of Ireland. ConnectIreland is focused on ensuring that Mr. Moran, and all other connectors that have done as Ireland has asked them to do, are duly recognised. I hope I have answered Deputy Rock's question.
