Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach
General Scheme of the Judicial Council (Amendment) Bill 2021: Discussion
Mr. Peter Boland:
To be honest, we are a small market. For an underwriter based in London, it is probably easier and more efficient to set up a second office in Manchester than to come to Ireland. It will therefore take a certain amount of persuasion. I understand the Department of Finance has given that responsibility to the IDA, which has enormous experience in selling Ireland as a destination. We agree with all that but the issue from our perspective is the lack of speed at which what I refer to is happening.
