It is just very frustrating. I am from the mid-west but I am sure this is an issue in every part of the country. As a nation, Ireland Inc. is inviting in these multinationals and trying to entice and attract in big American businesses. The €11 billion package in the budget two weeks ago is largely based on taxes from these big companies. It is kind of what is keeping the country going. However, the employees and executives of these companies, the people we have headhunted to come over, realise straight away that the piece of paper from America simply does not work here. They are being babied and have to drive around with people in the car. It simply does not work.
