James Reilly: ...Minister to the House again. Any time she comes here, she comes with Bills that are invariably supported. This is yet another.

Seanad: Industrial Development (Amendment) Bill 2018: Second Stage (12 Jul 2018)

James Reilly: ...agus cuirim fáilte roimh an mBille seo. I am delighted to welcome this very good Bill. As the Minister said, it is technical, short and to the point. It comes about as a result of a court case. The IDA does not just do a good job; it does a great job. It is a jewel in the crown of the country and the envy of many other nations in its success rate in attracting FDI and many jobs...

Seanad: Order of Business (26 Oct 2017)

James Reilly: .... In 2010, there were 18 million visitors through that airport and this year we expect 30 million.

James Reilly: ...more jobs and, given the challenges that we face, we need to avail of every strand of job creation. As opposed to their numbers, I acknowledge the quality of people working in Enterprise Ireland, the IDA and elsewhere. It is important. It is probably a good sign of the economy being so strong that all of the quality people are already gainfully employed and we must tease them back to...

It is going for the smaller scale of one to ten, 20 or 30 jobs as opposed to IDA Ireland, which works in the hundreds and thousands. We want to support IDA Ireland and that is fantastic. I fully accept the witnesses' point that it is not a case of either-or but, rather,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Economic Impact of Brexit: Discussion (18 Oct 2016)

Seanad: UK Referendum on EU Membership: Statements (13 Oct 2016)

James Reilly: ...or planning to invest in Britain but who are now unsure. Ireland has become the sales platform for many goods for other countries outside the EU. That can now become the case for UK goods as well. IDA Ireland has a major opportunity to entice would-be UK companies into Ireland.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Estimates for Public Services 2016: Vote 32 - Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation (22 Sep 2016)

James Reilly: ...I totally expect. We have seen some effects already and there will be more to come that we will not know about until the negotiations start. I would like to return to Deputy Neville's focus on IDA Ireland. I might raise the issue slightly differently and we would probably both come to the same point. Why would a particular property be purchased and what factors would influence that?...

Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Closures (30 Jan 2014)

James Reilly: ..., we looked at the buildings that had been built for a private hospital and other purposes - it may not quite have been for a private hospital, but that was one of the possibilities.

The year 2011 saw a net increase of 6,000 jobs in IDA-supported companies and a number of major foreign direct investments have been announced so far this year.
