I concur with Senator Lawless. It is wonderful to see one of our diaspora in the Chamber articulating the views of many millions of people whose voices have not been heard as much as they should have been. More members of the diaspora should be included under the Seanad reforms.

Brexit has happened and is presenting major challenges, but a positive can be found in the large number of multinationals in England wishing to relocate to the Republic. They want a foothold in Europe. I know of an agency with more than 700 jobs that is coming to this country. There is a major opportunity, not for Dublin, which does not have the capacity, but for the rest of the country. I would like the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation to be invited to the Chamber so that we might ask her what is being and will be done. It will represent a significant opportunity if Ireland Inc. can attract these multinationals, European agencies and high-profile jobs. They will be considering other countries, such as France. Brexit is causing our country many problems, but we must consider the positives as well.
