- Public Accounts Committee: 2021 Financial Statements of Enterprise Ireland: Discussion (23 Mar 2023)
Brian Stanley: I know that the just transition money came in. That is very welcome. Many of us, particularly in the midlands, have raised that for obvious reasons and because of the demise of the peat harvest and the black hole, pardon the pun, in a number of ways, particularly in respect of jobs. What level of protection do we have from the significant transition and the changes taking place in the...

Brian Stanley: I understand that we are a small fish in a big sea, but are you concerned there will be a significant drop-off in respect of the tech sector in terms of the level of this in this country?

Brian Stanley: You do not see a steep fall.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2021 Financial Statements of Enterprise Ireland: Discussion (23 Mar 2023)
Brian Stanley: Many people will be reassured by that because, obviously, Enterprise Ireland is following this very closely.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2021 Financial Statements of Enterprise Ireland: Discussion (23 Mar 2023)
Brian Stanley: Enterprise Ireland was doing that directly.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2021 Financial Statements of Enterprise Ireland: Discussion (23 Mar 2023)
Brian Stanley: Obviously, Enterprise Ireland can do it directly with the greater number of related companies now. Thank you for that, Mr. Sherry.

Brian Stanley: Could Mr. Clancy clarify that? When he said manufacturing and international trading, is it "or" or "either"?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2021 Financial Statements of Enterprise Ireland: Discussion (23 Mar 2023)
Brian Stanley: Okay.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2021 Financial Statements of Enterprise Ireland: Discussion (23 Mar 2023)

- Public Accounts Committee: 2021 Financial Statements of Enterprise Ireland: Discussion (23 Mar 2023)
Brian Stanley: That is okay. I have some questions myself regarding the county breakdown of investments. I asked about and a number of jobs. Can I have those figures? Does Ms Brennan have separate figures for counties Laois and Offaly? I do not want her to go through all 26 counties. She can supply those figures to the committee afterwards.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2021 Financial Statements of Enterprise Ireland: Discussion (23 Mar 2023)
Brian Stanley: That will be helpful.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2021 Financial Statements of Enterprise Ireland: Discussion (23 Mar 2023)
Brian Stanley: Yes, counties Laois and Offaly.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2021 Financial Statements of Enterprise Ireland: Discussion (23 Mar 2023)
Brian Stanley: Okay.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2021 Financial Statements of Enterprise Ireland: Discussion (23 Mar 2023)
Brian Stanley: It was €2.145 million. That is quite low for Offaly. In terms of the figure for the midlands, I know they would compare well. If I heard Ms Brennan correctly, she said the figure was €88.2 million for Dublin. On a basis of population, obviously, that is not high. It looks like the midlands is getting its share there. The Dublin region does very well in terms of direct...

Brian Stanley: Does it include counties Cavan and Monaghan?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2021 Financial Statements of Enterprise Ireland: Discussion (23 Mar 2023)
Brian Stanley: Okay. It is quite low. That would be concerning, obviously, because it is a large area but also because of the underdevelopment in the Border region in the past. It has suffered over the years because of its peripheral nature. Then, obviously, historically with the conflict as well, job creation was not as good there as it was in other parts of the country. Is Enterprise Ireland taking...
- Public Accounts Committee: 2021 Financial Statements of Enterprise Ireland: Discussion (23 Mar 2023)
Brian Stanley: Yes. Those areas have not performed as well as others with regard to FDI. I will ask Mr. Murphy how the LEO offices are performing across those counties on the Border corridor.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2021 Financial Statements of Enterprise Ireland: Discussion (23 Mar 2023)
Brian Stanley: The LEOs are performing quite well in those.
