Brendan Ryan (Labour)

I will conclude when I can complete a sentence. US investment is critical to this country. It is an illusion that our rate of corporation tax, 12.5%, will keep companies in this country if people get stuck in traffic jams as soon as they leave the airports. The Government's infrastructure plan does not include what the American Chamber of Commerce Ireland considers critical, namely, good roads between Waterford, Cork, Limerick, Galway and Sligo. This is critical to balance investment and draw it from Dublin towards other provinces. If the Senators will not listen to the American Chamber of Commerce in Ireland, they will not listen to me.
