Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

IDA Ireland works independently at one level. The Government has given it a regional mandate to work with companies that are investing in Ireland to move outside the cities where possible. Obviously, Dublin will get the lion's share of foreign direct investment because of the attractions of a capital city for inward investors, particularly digital companies and so forth. However, IDA Ireland is well aware of the desire of the Oireachtas and of the Government to spread investment as much as possible. We will continue to do that in respect of Meath and the entire country.
