Finian McGrath (Dublin North Central, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I welcome the €11.7 investment because such investment is important on the north side of Dublin.

In 1824, John Cadbury opened a small grocer's shop at 93 Bull Street in Birmingham. He came to Ireland in 1932 and to Coolock in 1964. The plant exports approximately 200 products to 30 countries, which is worth €110 million to the economy. Does the Minister accept that this magnificent company and wonderful productivity was the result of a high quality workforce on the north side of Dublin? The workers delivered quality products. He should be cautious about losing high quality people with great expertise to low cost countries that might not have the same standards we have.
