Intellectual Property (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2014: Committee and Remaining Stages
1:25 pm
Feargal Quinn (Independent) | Oireachtas source
I thank the Minister. There is a seanfhocal he might remember from his school days which states: "Éist le fuaim na habhann agus gheobhaidh tú bradán" - "Listen to the sound of the river and you will catch a salmon." With this Bill the Minister has shown us that he has listened to us, but as a whole, Ireland needs to hear the message that if we are to attract others to come here, we cannot stay with out-of-date legislation.
In this case, we were out of date and had to catch up. I hope that makes us an even more attractive place for other investment and for entrepreneurs to create businesses here. I congratulate the Minister of State.
