Joint Oireachtas Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade

Economic Recovery: Discussion with Chambers Ireland

3:20 pm

Mr. Ian Talbot:

No, it was a second iteration of the contract. The first iteration included the IEA and Dublin ended up taking it for the Dublin region. There is a history to this, but what we are saying is that it covers a broad area. It is an EU mandated issue in terms of the scale. Clearly, we have a very strong chamber in Limerick and we have chambers in Shannon and Ennis. We would be very interested in supporting them where we can.
