Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

I will be reasonable but I must give the basis to the question. I have noted how the Government has quickly latched on to those elements that are doing very well but has the Taoiseach met the representative bodies for the manufacturing sector or with companies such as Boston Scientific, Hewlett Packard and Intel? Has he garnered anything from them about the needs of the manufacturing sector in terms of confidence, growth and development so we can attract more inward investment? I am not asking any other Minister; I am asking the Taoiseach what is needed to secure investment from the manufacturing sector in the country.
