John McGuinness: There are many public representatives who feel a bit like John the Baptist. They do not feel that anyone Googles anything they say. They have been talking for a long number of years about the IDA visiting their areas.

(12 Feb 2015)

John McGuinness: The other issue related to visits and talking up one's area is that of the actual number of jobs created. I am saying this in the context of the initiative that was announced yesterday. That initiative was announced by the Government, so do I take it that it is Government policy or is it an initiative that was brought forward by the IDA and simply announced by the Government? Where did the...

(12 Feb 2015)

John McGuinness: IDA Ireland has listed nine new advanced technology buildings in different locations. Will Mr. Shanahan, by way of a submission to the committee, give us the criteria behind the selection of those areas and tell us what brought them across the line? I am looking at 2011, 2012 and 2013 in the context of jobs created and am bearing in mind that the IDA proposes to put one of the buildings in...

John McGuinness: Does Mr. Shanahan's reference to advance solutions mean buildings?

(12 Feb 2015)

John McGuinness: I want to argue this out because there are many counties that have suitable buildings available. They have not been encouraged to provide even more buildings because they were not sure that they would secure tenants for them. I am particularly taken by the fact that Mr. Shanahan has said that the IDA would meet county councils and so forth. One such council wrote to the IDA on 10 October...

John McGuinness: I would still suggest that the regions are coming from a very low base. There is no doubt that the IDA is successful in attracting companies to come to the country. However, once the companies identify Ireland as a place in which to set up, what happens then and who influences that company? They may be influenced by the capital and so on, but others are not. I have been out in the...
