Mr. Broderick talks about not displacing jobs in the UK but our responsibility is to Irish workers and Irish financial services so if circumstances arise with Brexit, should we not encourage financial services to locate in Ireland? If jobs could potentially come to Ireland they will by definition, leave the UK. Is it not better for us to bring them here rather than allow them to go to Frankfurt, New York or elsewhere? I appreciate the altruistic motives towards colleagues who are members of a union but I would hate to lose an opportunity and for these jobs to go elsewhere rather than here. The people working in these jobs in London would be very welcome to work in Dublin or Shannon or Limerick.
