Joint Oireachtas Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment: General Scheme of the Industrial Development (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2025: Discussion (25 Jun 2025)

John Clendennen: I apologise for missing part of the session. What has been put forward is very much welcome. Anything we can do to improve our competitiveness and sustainability in terms of growth is important, but I note that the focus is on the IDA and Enterprise Ireland, in particular, when it comes to grant assistance.

John Clendennen: I did not mean to get into this today but I will since the topic has arisen. On jobs and visits, taking Offaly on its own or Laois-Offaly, this year Offaly did not get one visit from a potential IDA client for the county.
