Joint Oireachtas Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment

Competitiveness and the Cost of Doing Business in Ireland: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Mr. Aebhric McGibney:

There is risk involved. It is not the same as income tax. That is tricky and a political challenge.

I believe Senator Fitzpatrick has chaired the co-ordination group in her party for Dublin. This goes back to one of our points on infrastructure. We would like all parties to meet as a group. There are 48 or 50 TDs and Senators, although Senators are not geographically bound, in Dublin. We would like to see the TDs working together, instead of on a constituency basis, for the county of Dublin and its wider environment because companies look at it that way. They do not look at it from a constituency point of view. They do not say they will only hire people from Tallaght or Finglas. They look at the wider labour pool. This is very important.
