I missed the presentation but I heard the programme before and I have read some of the material. Like my colleagues, I commend, compliment and congratulate the representatives from ConnectIreland. I hope that the organisation goes from strength to strength. We will do our best to spread the message to try to promote Ireland.

Reference was made to the welcome and appreciation shown in certain communities, especially communities that do not have the level of investment of a capital city such as Dublin. That is not to suggest that the people there are not appreciative, but there is probably a higher level of appreciation in certain parts of the country for new jobs. Even a relatively small number of new jobs would be very welcome in many communities. I commend the representatives from ConnectIreland on the work they are doing.
