Joe Flaherty: As the Minister rightly says, FDI has been transformative for the midlands and very much for County Longford. Abbott has evolved. Initially, it started out with 600 jobs. It has now in excess of 1,300 people in employment. Avery Dennison - the Minister pointed out that he opened the plant in 2018 - is enjoying a meteoric rise. The company's stated intention is that it wants to be the...

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: I will take the opportunity to contribute in view of the fact that the Minister and Minister of State are present. It is important that everybody works together. I want to speak about the IDA Ireland park in Carlow. It is one of the most beautiful buildings in the country but, unfortunately, there are no tenants in it yet. I have been working with the chamber of commerce and Carlow...

Peter Burke: For Deputy Flaherty's information, we will continue to work hard on that. It is in the capital plan. Hopefully, we will have a strong budget for business. We are working hard with our bilateral discussions with both Ministers to ensure that we have a strong business budget and, obviously, IDA Ireland will be central to that. In response to Deputy Murnane O'Connor, I will endeavour to...

- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Renewable Energy Generation (11 Jul 2024)
Darren O'Rourke: The Minister of State mentioned in one of his earlier responses in the Chamber that we are very well progressed and in a position to maximise these technologies and the huge potential, as he will be very familiar with himself, off the west coast. There is a significant piece there in terms of technology which, of course, is floating offshore wind. There is a concern that we are slow. We...

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: In the Minister’s opening statement, he spoke about the SEAI. I know the Government is really encouraging these grants and work is being done through contractors, but in recent months, while we are encouraging people to take up the grants, elderly people have come to me who would have got a small grant maybe 15 or 20 years ago who now go for this grant and are not allowed to get it....

Dara Calleary: I am pretty sure we will bring that to his attention. To go back to the offshore side of things, there are quite different opinions in terms of how advanced the technology is and how suited it is in particular for offshore on the west coast of Ireland, as the Deputy will know. What we are doing in our strategy is that we will establish an offshore wind centre of excellence. It will look at...

Richard Boyd Barrett: 8. To ask the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the measures he is considering to ensure full compliance with EU copyright directives and copyright legislation, given the issues raised by representatives of actors, performers, writers, and directors about the use of buyout contracts in the Irish film industry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30469/24]

Richard Boyd Barrett: For many years, I have been raising the concerns of people in the film industry and this question relates particularly to actors, writers, directors and performers who are forced by film producers in this country to sign buyout contracts, contracts which are far inferior to what actors, performers, writers and directors get in other jurisdictions. These buyout contracts are a breach, in the...

Emer Higgins: Go raibh maith agat, a Theachta.

The transfer of rights is...
