There is no specific job creation requirement under this legislation. The point, and I have raised it with Deputy O'Donnell and others already, is that it brings key decision makers and those with key skill-sets to Irish boardrooms and to companies based here, so that it better positions Ireland and also multinational companies based in Ireland or with operations in Ireland to attract further growth. The commentary that the Deputy read out is not reflected in the legislation.
