Invest in Irish Job Scheme: Discussion.
3:05 pm
Mr. Paul O'Hara:
It is hoped if we can get 40 people - a possible number - that would equate to €400 million in new money for the Exchequer and €200 million in new fresh investment. Based on estimates, this would create 3,500 jobs. That would mean a cost of €36,000 per bed night. It should not be overlooked that this would be good value for the State.
