Yesterday, the Minister of State issued a press release to The Irish Timeswhich compared apples and oranges.

How long does the Minister expect the education system that is becoming so under-resourced to provide the quality of student graduates for whom the likes of Apple, Google, Facebook, etc. will come to this country?

Seanad: Order of Business (24 Feb 2015)

Gerard Craughwell: I join with colleagues in welcoming the news from Apple that it is to set up a new facility in Athenry not too far from the village of Craughwell in Galway - a well-named village. I am sure that the new impetus in the quest to drive industry to the west is in no way attributable to my colleagues, the Independent Deputies from that area. I am sure the Government side will forgive me for...
