Dara Calleary (Mayo, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I agree with the Minister about the existing workforce and I would direct those commentators, particularly in the US, who have commented on the Allergan takeover this week, which I welcome, to the quality of the 1,000 strong workforce in Westport. The Minister made a specific commitment in the Action Plan on Jobs to provide 92 additional new projects to give new opportunities to a talented workforce to show its stuff and I am not convinced based on building two advance units in Galway and one in Castlebar and improved promotion, measures we have been asking the Minister to take for four years, that there is a roadmap. I am trying to get from him how specifically we will go from such a low base of new projects to 92 over the next few years but I will not get that this morning.
