Company Law
Dail Éireann — 2026-06-16
============================================================

Peter Burke (FG), Longford-Westmeath

I am constantly engaging with stakeholders. Indeed, I meet many of them during my weekly business with the Department. I have had some very exciting job announcements in the financial services sector and have discussed this issue in detail with it and in relation to the work the Department of Finance has undertaken. It has been present for some of those announcements, so we are very much aware of the opportunity here. Ireland will absolutely be at the forefront to grasp that opportunity with both hands.
I should also point out the highly skilled workforce we have and the capacity to ensure that grows is so important for the sector as well. We are well set, therefore, to grow it further. The IDA has a number of exciting companies growing in this space. There is also our own fintech sector with Fenergo and others that have grown exponentially in recent years. I assure the Deputy of my full attention, and I am working closely with the Department of Finance and the Central Bank on this issue.
