Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Development of the Sheep Sector: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Mark Christal:

That does not typically fall under the mandate of Enterprise Ireland. It depends on what the company is and the service that is being provided. We do not directly fund transport companies, for example. We deal with manufacturing and internationally traded services with export potential. We are always open to looking at whether there is a basis from which we can support a company in a particular sector. Obviously we have to make sure we are not distorting the market here or interfering in the domestic market.
