Why he likes the job:

One minute you are talking to an engineer, then a hotelier and then a software engineer, it certainly is not boring.

Shannon airport:

We need more low-cost carriers and that needs to be at the top of the Government's agenda.

Tourism in the region:

You have to create a number of magnet sites that will draw people into the area.

The future of the company:

A reduction of the State's role in the company is not something which frightens me.

How the company operates:

We are not prepared to just give someone a grant, they have to be able to work with us and believe in their own ideas.

His own philosophy:

I am only interested in supporting sustainable development.

What it is all about:

In the end it comes down to creating jobs and growing companies.
