Mr. Derek Moran:

The important thing about the multinational sector is, as the Deputy says, its very positive contribution to taxes, which allows us provide services, but also direct employment, indirect employment and so on. It is hugely positive. In my experience, these are highly professional operations that are happy to be here. They are dispersed around the country.

I will not comment on the demonisation piece; I am not sure what that is.
