Outstanding research requires world-class scientists and engineers. World-class researchers are highly motivated. They are like thoroughbred horses. They compete and work very hard in the global market. They are born to compete. If we are to continue to attract high-technology companies against intense competition, develop our indigenous high-tech industry and show that our success over the last few years was not just a flash in the pan and that we can sustain a leading presence in high-technology industries, we must realise this is a complex and fast-changing sector and the challenges of advancing up the value chain are significant. It is vital that the Government's commitment to research and development does not waver. We need zealots and missionaries in organisations such as the IDA, Enterprise Ireland and Science Foundation Ireland, who will drive this new development of brain power. Otherwise, we will not be able to compete.
