Seanad: Order of Business (24 Feb 2015)

Colm Burke: I too welcome the decision by Apple to develop the facility near Athenry.

Seanad: Order of Business (22 May 2013)

If Senators want to have a debate on this matter, let us have a debate but let us also take into account the...

Seanad: Order of Business (9 May 2012)

Colm Burke: ...voting "Yes" in this referendum and of replying to Senator Cullinane. The Government has been to the fore in pushing for the creation of jobs and I refer to three examples - PayPal, Eli Lilly and Apple.

In my constituency Apple Computers announced the creation of 500 jobs. This has happened because we are part of a bigger global market. We are the only English speaking country in the eurozone and have a major...
