Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

-----I suggest he have a look at the ESRI report published this week. It is fresh off the presses and the Deputy should read it. I would be interested in his feedback on it.

I will conclude by noting there undoubtedly will be an opportunity to discuss the matters raised by Deputies as this Bill continues to progress through the House. I wish to thank my officials and I thank Members for their contributions. I look forward to having these further discussions. I commend the Bill to the House and ask people, in consideration of this legislation, to remember its purpose, which is to make Ireland competitive, to continue to attract funds here and to continue to create jobs and investment. This is a collective challenge and is one on which I look forward to engaging.
