European Council Meetings
4:00 pm
Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)
The 350 firms at the Royal Hospital, Kilmainham in Dublin yesterday were all small Irish indigenous companies, with the exception of a few. They are the backbone of the economy and they were there to meet business interests from China with a view to doing business in that country and exporting from Ireland to China. This was occasioned by Enterprise Ireland, which structured dialogues and conversations between many companies. Many of them are based in Blanchardstown. They are small operators which employ small numbers of people and which want to expand. It would be very good for Deputy Higgins to call to these businesses and speak to them about how they might grow their workforces in Blanchardstown in his constituency.
