Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs

European Semester Process: Committee of the Regions

2:10 pm

Ms Fiona O'Loughlin:

It has an office on Molesworth Street beside the office of the European Parliament. There is much scope for promoting awareness at regional level and, I dare say, outside Dublin. It is important that we sell Ireland as a region in which it is good to do business. Within Ireland we need to develop the other parts that are not getting the benefits Dublin has received. With the greater infrastructural improvements we have achieved in the past few years, it is important to sell other regions.
