In terms of the global slowdown in the technology sector Ms Fitzpatrick said had been forecast for some time, how does Technology Ireland envisage that playing out? Will it be mainly a contraction of the recruitment spree some of the very large tech companies and online platforms underwent over the past two years or will there also be an impact on smaller indigenous companies? Ms Fitzpatrick might say it is both but where will the main impact be? What I am most interested in is the impact on small indigenous tech companies.
