- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: ConnectIreland's 'Succeed in Ireland' Programme: Discussion (21 Mar 2017)
Maurice Quinlivan: I thank Mr. Scannell for his presentation. I have a number of questions about the review. Why have the terms of reference for the review not been finalised yet? What is the reason for this delay? When will the terms of reference be finalised? How long is the review scheduled to take? Will it be made public? Why close the initiative when the review is ongoing? Why not operate at least...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: ConnectIreland's 'Succeed in Ireland' Programme: Discussion (21 Mar 2017)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: ConnectIreland's 'Succeed in Ireland' Programme: Discussion (21 Mar 2017)
Maurice Quinlivan: I thank Ms Murphy for the presentation which was appreciated. I am perplexed by the decision of IDA Ireland not to renew the contract. I cannot get my head around the reasoning for it. From speaking to ConnectIreland in the past and seeing the jobs it has delivered in areas where IDA Ireland is not going to deliver them, especially in rural Ireland and the more remote parts of the State -...
