Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I referenced earlier the large number of significant employers clustered in particular parts of our country.

This is, for want of a better phrase, because of the ecosystem and their ability to upskill people working in communities who then leave to go to employers in similar sectors located in similar parts of our country. There are some very large employers, and one in particular that Deputy McGrath is referring to. I absolutely understand that. The Government and I have engaged with individual employers on this. We are proud to have them in Ireland. They have contributed to the growth of our country but we also believe we have played a role in contributing to their success here and back home in the US also. Of course we will continue to engage with these very important employers at what is also an unprecedented time for them. All Deputies have emphasised this to me today.
