Timmy Dooley (Fianna Fail)

I agree with his recognition of the work done by former Taoiseach, Mr. Charles Haughey, with regard to the IFSC. I have long recognised the importance of that decision. I do not know to what Senator Ryan refers when he says Mr. Haughey's name is not popular. It is extremely popular with myself and my colleagues, and it is great to have an opportunity to recognise the work done with regard to the IFSC. It has placed Ireland to the fore of international markets as a centre of excellence in terms of professionalism and our legal and financial expertise. It has allowed us to develop to a point where we can quite seamlessly win a contract such as this. I have not heard it announced in the media, because we regularly get these types of projects as a result of the foundation laid by Mr. Haughey, as well as other business people involved in the endeavour.
