Niall Collins (Limerick County, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

IDA Ireland is offering the excuse that it cannot go into the boardrooms of potential investors in this country and direct them to come to a specific location. It picks up the representatives of the company when they come to Ireland and brings them to their stated preferred location. IDA Ireland needs to do better. While it can bring them to their preferred stated location, it should offer them alternative site visits in the counties I have named which are receiving very few site visits. It is not rocket science. At this stage we are all worn out from the excuse that IDA Ireland cannot direct where companies locate in Ireland. It must do better and the Minister should instruct it to do better.
