Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The point I was making to Deputy Tóibín was that we cannot look to the capacity of the IDA to provide for every town and village. The IDA cannot fill that gap and never will. A large region like the south east with a significant educational asset in the Waterford Institute of Technology and its established company base in food, pharmaceuticals and other sectors is a cluster we must build out. That is why we are building in Waterford where there is a cluster that will attract investment. This is an additional strengthening of that cluster. There is no contradiction.
