There was also a concern raised about the IDA's response to the question of how much it costs to create a ConnectIreland job as opposed to an IDA job. The CEO said that there is no methodology to calculate how much it costs to create a ConnectIreland job. ConnectIreland says differently. There is obviously a dispute there. We need accurate, full information. Either there is a methodology to work out how much it costs to create an IDA job versus a ConnectIreland job or there is not. I am not satisfied with the response the committee received at the last meeting. It was a bit glib.
