Company Closures: Motion (Resumed)
On the positive side, Senator Feargal Quinn referred previously to an article in yesterday's edition of The Times on Twitter coming to Ireland. There was an article, I believe, on page 31 of that newspaper on how the Celtic Tiger had rediscovered its teeth. It is a magnificent article about how we were the sick man of Europe and now we have got our act together. One of the main reasons we achieved that is through improving our competitiveness in quite a short time. We had a surge in exports during the past year. As I have said a thousand times in this Chamber, the only way we will get money in is if we provide products or services that bring money into the country. The chief way of getting money into the country is through exports, through people who want to buy our goods.
