ConnectIreland's 'Succeed in Ireland' Programme: Discussion

11:00 am

Mr. Terry Clune:

That is one company. The IDA has verified its figures. I know that 527 jobs in total have been created for all of our 82 projects. One company alone has more than 400 staff working right now, which is indisputable and shows the success of the initiative. It is hard to attract foreign direct investment from overseas and getting a result from Australia is very unusual.
