Darragh O'Brien (Dublin North, Fianna Fail)

Only this week we have heard announcements from Volkswagen and Covidian that they are to create hundreds of new jobs in Cherrywood in Dublin. Blue chip companies such as these are still investing and locating in Ireland, as it is a good place to do business and because our economy is robust. The Opposition will not talk about such announcements, as the truth does not suit their arguments.
