That is a fair point, having had a meeting with IDA Ireland last week on attracting it to Kildare and out of Dublin. Going through the issues, and education being one of them, I have family members who live abroad and I see how they make their choices in terms of their children. Having seen the Sundai school experience just outside Newbridge, which worked incredibly well for a number of years for the children of Japanese businesspeople who were based not just in Ireland but throughout Europe, it is a valid argument in terms of everything we are discussing with regard to Brexit, jobs etc.
