For the life of me, I cannot understand why it is being closed down. It has been successful. Given that there was clearly a divergence in the figures, surely the sensible course of action would have been to continue with ConnectIreland, understand where the divergence occurred and at that point decide on whether to continue the project or give the reasons for closing it. However, this situation seems shrouded in mystery. Are these people the victims of a division within the IDA because they might be showing the IDA up by delivering jobs at a lower cost?
