Yesterday the Industrial Development Agency came before the PAC. I spoke to the IDA about the work they are doing to encourage investment in to Ireland, how they are managing resources and whether or not they need more (which I believe they do – every investment in a new member of staff working for the IDA abroad in key markets results in significant investment into the country, as already proven). Watch my contribution here.

But it is also well worth watching the CEO’s interaction with Deputy Shane Ross at the beginning of the meeting as it clearly demonstrates the transparency of our competitive tax regime. Watch this here (Deputy Ross’ contribution begins at approximately 11 minutes in).
