Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Statement of Strategy 2018-2021: Engagement with the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation

4:00 pm

Dr. Orlaigh Quinn:

Some of it is not necessarily about resources because, as I stated, we have 11 ambassadors in Asia, spread right across the region. They are not just in Japan or Singapore; they are in all the regions of Asia. We could possibly do more if we had more resources but one has to remember that only a certain number of companies are ready to export to Asia. It is a combined area. I cannot put a number on it. It is not the case that if we suddenly doubled our resources in Asia tomorrow, there would be double the business. It would not work like that.
