Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

ConnectIreland's 'Succeed in Ireland' Programme: Discussion

11:00 am

Mr. Terry Clune:

We have a dispute or an issue with the IDA and we cannot go into that. However, we could have triggered legal issues with the IDA one, two or three years ago. We have been trying to resolve the issues with the IDA. Heretofore, that has been unsuccessful but we hope that, with the support of the committee, this initiative can be extended or be given a bridging agreement or that we could work with the Department. During that time a review can be carried out whereby the issues we have a concern about can be resolved, rather than it having to become any more legalistic than that.
