Investing in Ireland

CAN I point out to Deputy Arthur Morgan (Letters, January 26) that the multinationals which have set up in Ireland over the past decade and created one million jobs do not choose Ireland because of the music, craic and the thousand welcomes.

The people of Carrigtwohill know what I’m talking about.
