I would have thought that back in 2012 and 2013, one of the big dangers facing the Irish economy was the absence of access to capital and investment. That problem seems to have been resolved, and the biggest threat facing the economy now, I would have thought, is gaining access to skilled labour for the construction, hospitality and services sectors. I am conscious the witnesses are policy advisers, not policy-makers, but does Mr. Kirrane not think the State should concentrate its schemes more on trying to attract skilled labour than trying to attract capital?
