I want to parse a variety of different matters throughout my own questioning. Perhaps I will reach the same conclusion posed by Ms Murphy's question.

In terms of what Mr. Clune has said, why are the jobs not counted? I know the witnesses are subject to legal process. If they cannot encroach on any of this matter, then by all means they should say so. Will Mr. Clune give us a broad outline of where the conflict lies? Does the IDA use the same metrics for its own job creation as it does for ConnectIreland?
