Mary White: Can I just conclude?. I will definitely be making a recommendation on the putting in place of a proper selling degree. In Ireland marketing has a snob value and a salesperson has been seen as inferior. I know that from my personal experience.

I agree with my colleagues' remarks on the Narrow Water bridge project. I could not believe what happened. I thought it was a certainty. It is important that we get clarification on who made the mistake....

I wish to discuss the rationale for amendments Nos. 9 to 11, inclusive, and 14, 27, 28 and 31 which focus on the concept of the single criteria. In a country where divorce was only made legal in 1996, it is ludicrous that it is...

Mary White: The presentations from all of our guests were outstanding. This has been a very enlightening and interesting meeting so far. There is a dichotomy in Ireland. We talk about entrepreneurship and how much we need it but Government Departments are suspicious of entrepreneurs because of issues like taxation, PRSI and so forth. I really believe that is the situation. They do not trust them...
